What is Aesthetic Laser Crown Lengthening
Some people have excess gum tissue that shows when they smile, particularly on their upper jaw. This can be a distracting feature that impacts the overall appearance of your mouth and teeth when smiling, talking, or laughing. Aesthetic crown lengthening is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing excess gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth surface, lengthening the appearance of your teeth and diminishing a gummy smile. It helps create a more proportionate smile, allowing your teeth to appear longer and more prominent.
While crown lengthening can traditionally be performed through oral surgery with incisions and sutures, Restore Dental offers an advanced, non-invasive alternative using laser treatments. This technique allows for precise gum reshaping without the need for incisions, making it a safer and more comfortable option with faster recovery times. Laser treatments also reduce the risk of post-procedure complications, such as swelling and bleeding, ensuring a smoother recovery.

Benefits of Laser Crown Lengthening
Laser crown lengthening offers several advantages over traditional gum surgery:
- Precision: Laser treatments provide more accurate gum contouring, allowing for better results and a more natural-looking outcome.
- Minimized Discomfort: Laser treatments are less invasive and generally cause less pain compared to traditional gum surgery, making it a more comfortable option for patients.
- Faster Healing: The laser sterilizes the tissue as it contours the gums, reducing bleeding and the risk of infection. This leads to quicker recovery times and less discomfort overall.
- Reduced Risk of Infection: The laser cauterizes the tissue, ensuring that the treated area remains sterile, reducing the chance of complications and promoting a faster, safer healing process.
Additionally, the laser technology helps reduce the need for follow-up visits and minimizes the risk of scarring, ensuring that the results are long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing.
