What is crown lengthening?

Also known as coronal elongation, crown lengthening is a periodontal surgical procedure that exposes a larger portion of the tooth by removing excess gum tissue and sometimes a small amount of bone. The procedure increases the clinical height of the dental crown, i.e., the part of the tooth visible above the gum line.

This procedure is often performed for functional reasons:

It is also used for aesthetic purposes, notably to correct a "gummy smile" (excessive gum visibility when smiling) by harmoniously redefining the gum line.

However, crown lengthening is not always possible. If the tooth root is too short, it could weaken the tooth in the long term. This is why a thorough assessment by an experienced dentist is essential before making any decisions.

In Turkey, periodontology and dental surgery specialists offer precise, personalized diagnoses to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

Do you need a medical opinion or a quote for crown lengthening in Turkey? Our experts are here to help.

Who can benefit from coronal elongation?

Coronal elongation is not a random surgical procedure. Like all dental procedures, it is based on a precise diagnosis, which is established through a thorough clinical examination and X-ray imaging. Only then can a dentist confirm if this treatment is right for you.

This procedure is primarily intended for patients with:

Thanks to technological advances, coronal lengthening often makes tooth extraction unnecessary. This technique exposes more of the tooth, making it possible to fit a crown or prosthesis when very little tooth structure is visible.

Contraindications for surgical crown lengthening

Although crown lengthening is an effective solution in many cases, it is not always an option. This procedure may be contraindicated in certain clinical situations, particularly when it risks compromising the health or aesthetics of neighboring teeth.

The main contraindications to consider are as follows:

Coronary lengthening process in Turkey

The procedure takes place in several stages. First, you will have an initial consultation with your dentist to discuss your needs and expectations. During this consultation, the dentist will evaluate your overall oral health.

Before the procedure, the dentist will administer a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. X-rays or scans may also be taken to plan the procedure. Depending on your needs, a small amount of gum or bone around the tooth may be removed to expose more of the crown. This creates a solid foundation for the subsequent dental restoration.

Once the area is prepared, the dentist will take precise impressions of your teeth to fabricate the new crown. While waiting for the final crown, the dentist will place a temporary restoration to protect the exposed tooth. After an appropriate healing period, usually a few weeks, you'll return to the dentist for the permanent crown. It will be securely fixed to the treated tooth, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance.

Please note that this procedure may vary according to each patient's specific needs. Your dentist will explain the steps involved in your dental crown lengthening procedure in detail and answer any questions you have to ensure you fully understand the process.

Preparation and postoperative phase of coronal lengthening

This procedure involves reducing the gums to widen the visible part of the tooth. This is achieved by removing the upper part of the gum tissue to displace the gums and expose the tooth. Bone renovation may also be considered.

A detailed preoperative clinical examination is crucial to assess the feasibility of the procedure and its aesthetic merits. This examination allows you to correctly determine the surgical space and evaluate the quality and extent of the gingiva. It's important to note that gingival thickness can vary significantly from person to person. The dentist evaluates this surgical space, which is the distance between the dental tissue and the highest bony vertex.

Crown lengthening can be performed on small gums. However, this procedure is not suitable for smokers or individuals with severe gum inflammation. This procedure requires hygiene precautions and can only be performed in dental clinics. Complete healing can take around three months.

Once fully healed, an artificial crown can be fitted to the tooth to replace the missing tooth. The availability of sufficient dental materials in Turkey ensures the successful performance of this procedure and the achievement of a very natural result.

What are the risks of crown lengthening?

As with any surgical procedure, there are certain risks and side effects of dental crown lengthening that you should be aware of before undergoing the procedure.

Possible complications include:

Treated teeth often appear longer after the procedure. While this change is usually desired for functional or aesthetic reasons, in some cases, particularly in people with larger teeth, it can alter the appearance of the smile in an unharmonious way.

To avoid this undesirable result, some Turkish dentists use aesthetic simulation or advanced digital imaging tools. These technologies allow you to visualize the final result before the procedure to ensure it aligns with your aesthetic expectations.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, crown lengthening can improve the appearance of your teeth by making your gum line more even and exposing more of your teeth. This helps your smile look more natural and balanced, making you feel much more confident.

Yes, the results of crown lengthening are permanent because the excess gum and bone tissue are removed. However, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and to visit your dentist regularly.

No, crown lengthening surgery is not painful because it is performed under local anesthesia. However, mild discomfort, swelling, or sensitivity may occur afterward, but these side effects are generally well managed with pain medication.

Healthy people make good candidates for crown lengthening. To make sure the procedure is safe for you, your dentist will first evaluate your general dental health and condition. Before the procedure, your dentist will need to supervise the treatment of any gum disease or other oral issues you may have.

Yes, in some cases, such as minor gum irregularities, there are solutions such as laser gum reshaping or orthodontic treatment that can help improve the appearance of your smile. If the gum or bone modification is more significant, then surgical crown lengthening is necessary, which remains the most effective and long-lasting solution.

Yes, crown lengthening can make it easier to clean your teeth, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease in the future. It also improves your smile and supports long-term oral health.
