Crown Lengthening in Dripping Springs
It’s no secret that Ron S. White, DDS loves to help patients achieve a beautiful, healthy smile. Sometimes, that involves addressing cosmetic concerns after previous work has been done.
A patient may choose to undergo crown lengthening to help create a more symmetrical smile, among other reasons.
What Is It?
Crown lengthening helps to reveal more of a dental crown, which involves removing some of the gum tissue to create a more even smile appearance.
This treatment is carried out in the practice in just one office visit lasting roughly an hour. Before treatment begins, your dentist will want to take X-rays and speak with patients to get a better idea of their concerns and questions. Health history will also be reviewed, as well as an examination of the patient’s smile and gums.
Treatment is carried out with an advanced laser system and carries very little risk to the patient. Our dental team will provide after-care instructions, though patients are typically able to continue about their day immediately following their visit. Patients will be anesthetized during their treatment, so they won’t feel any pain.
