Zgjatje Kurore – Përgatitja e Dhëmbit për Restaurime të Qëndrueshme dhe Estetike
When part of a tooth is damaged or covered by gum tissue, placing a crown or veneer becomes impossible without prior intervention. In these cases, crown lengthening is a simple and effective surgical solution that helps expose the necessary tooth structure for a successful, aesthetically pleasing, and long-lasting treatment.
What is Crown Lengthening?
Crown lengthening is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the controlled removal of a portion of gum tissue – and, in some cases, bone surrounding the tooth – to expose more of the tooth’s surface. This procedure is essential in cases where the tooth is damaged below the gum line or where more space is required for restoration.
It can be applied for both functional purposes (retaining crowns or fillings) and aesthetic purposes (adjusting the gingival line in visible areas).
What is Crown Lengthening?
- When a tooth is broken below the gum line and there is not enough surface area for restoration
- Before placing a crown or veneer, to ensure perfect fit and longevity of the restoration
- In cases of deep caries, which extends below the gum line and requires exposure of the structure for cleaning and filling
- When aesthetic correction of the gum line is required, to create a more balanced and symmetrical smile
Main Advantages:
High stability for long-term restorations
By exposing more of the tooth structure, the procedure ensures a strong and secure base for the placement of a crown, veneer, or filling.
Prevents irritation and inflammation of the gums
Placing restorations under the gums without sufficient space can lead to inflammation and infection. Crown lengthening avoids this risk by ensuring a healthy border between the tooth and the gum.
Improved aesthetics in the smile line
In aesthetic cases, it helps reshape the gum line to balance the appearance between the teeth and gums, especially in the front teeth.
Safe procedure with quick recovery
With modern technology and careful technique, treatment is performed with minimal trauma and short recovery time.
