CROWN LENGTHENING SURGERY AT NHA TRANG
Creating a balanced smile – Optimal solution for teeth deep under the gums & Gummy Smile.
At HiDentist Nha Trang, we understand that a beautiful smile comes not only from bright white teeth but also from the harmony between tooth and gum proportions. Our Crown Lengthening service is a specialized dental technique that effectively solves aesthetic problems and supports stable porcelain teeth restoration.
1. What is Crown Lengthening?
This is a dental procedure to adjust the gum tissue and sometimes a small portion of the alveolar bone to expose more of the actual tooth structure.
Expert perspective: In fact, your teeth do not get longer. Doctors at HiDentist only perform a "restructuring" of the gum line so that the hidden tooth body is revealed in the most aesthetic and scientific way.
2. When Do You Need Crown Lengthening?
The team of doctors at HiDentist often prescribes this procedure in 3 typical cases:
- Support for porcelain teeth restoration (Crowns, Bridges): When a tooth is broken or decayed close to the gums, there is not enough space to place a solid porcelain crown. Crown lengthening helps create the necessary "biological width", ensuring the porcelain tooth adheres firmly and does not cause gingivitis later.
- Treatment of tooth decay under the gums: If the cavity is deep below the gum line, cleaning and filling the tooth will be very difficult to do accurately. This procedure helps expose the injured area, helping the doctor clean and seal the cavity 100%.
- Correcting Gummy Smile: This is the "golden" solution for those who have thick gums covering the teeth. After performing, the teeth will look longer, bringing a radiant and balanced smile.
3. High-Tech Process At HiDentist Nha Trang
The entire process takes place in about 30 – 60 minutes with strict sterilization standards:
- Examination and X-Ray: The doctor uses digital images to accurately assess bone and tooth root structure before performing.
- Local Anesthesia: We apply modern anesthesia technology, helping you feel completely comfortable and without pain throughout the treatment.
- Creating the gum line: The doctor skillfully intervenes in the gum tissue to adjust the ratio according to the aesthetic plan set in advance.
- Alveolar bone adjustment (if necessary): In some cases, the doctor will gently refine the bone to ensure the gums are stable and do not "creep" back to their old position after healing.
- Aesthetic stitches: The wound is closed with ultra-thin sutures, helping the healing process take place quickly and leaving no scars.
4. Post-Surgery Care & Recovery Time
To achieve the most perfect results, customers at HiDentist only need to pay attention to a few small points:
- Early stage: The gums may be slightly swollen for a few days. You should prioritize soft, cold foods and avoid brushing your teeth directly in the surgical area.
- After 7 – 10 days: You return to the clinic for the doctor to check and cut the stitches.
- Healing time: Gum tissue will heal stably after 4 – 6 weeks. If you plan to have porcelain teeth made, the ideal time is after 2 – 3 months to ensure the gum line has completely formed.
