Crown lengthening is a dental procedure that removes excess gum tissue and reshapes the gum line to expose more of your natural teeth. For gummy smile treatment, this procedure helps create a more balanced smile by reducing the amount of gum tissue visible when you smile. At London Dental Specialists, our periodontists carefully reshape your gum line to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing proportion between your teeth and gums.
At London Dental Specialists, crown lengthening costs typically range from £300-£500 per tooth, with comprehensive treatment for multiple teeth potentially ranging from £1,000-£3,000. The final cost depends on several factors including the number of teeth requiring treatment, the complexity of your case, and whether any additional procedures are needed. We provide detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing during your consultation.
Crown lengthening at London Dental Specialists is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. Most patients experience minimal discomfort afterwards, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Some swelling and tenderness in the treated area is normal for 3-7 days following the procedure. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery.
No, the gum tissue removed during crown lengthening does not grow back. This makes crown lengthening a permanent solution for gummy smiles. The procedure permanently alters your gum line to reveal more of your natural teeth. To maintain your results, London Dental Specialists recommends regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene practices.
Recovery after crown lengthening typically takes 1-2 weeks for initial healing. Complete healing of the gums may take up to 3 months. During the first week, you may experience some swelling and tenderness. Most patients can return to normal activities within 2-3 days, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for about a week. London Dental Specialists provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
Good candidates for crown lengthening at London Dental Specialists include individuals with:
Crown lengthening and gum contouring are similar procedures, but with key differences. Gum contouring primarily focuses on reshaping the gum line for aesthetic purposes, removing only soft gum tissue. Crown lengthening, as performed at London Dental Specialists, involves removing both gum tissue and sometimes a small amount of bone to expose more of the tooth structure. Crown lengthening is often more comprehensive and may be recommended for both cosmetic and functional purposes.
The results of crown lengthening are permanent as the gum tissue does not grow back. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups at London Dental Specialists, your new smile line can last a lifetime. We recommend six-monthly professional cleanings and examinations to maintain optimal gum health and preserve your results long-term.
