Introduction
Gingivectomy and Crown Lengthening are oral surgery procedures aimed at enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of your teeth and smile. While both procedures involve the removal of excess gum tissue, it's important to note the distinction between them.
In a Gingivectomy, only excess gum tissue is removed.
Crown Lengthening involves the removal of excess gum tissue and bone, to achieve the desired outcome.
At Dental Designs Clinic, in most cases, we utilize WaterLase, an advanced laser technology known for its numerous benefits, including reduced discomfort, anesthesia-free treatment, shorter duration, lower infection risk, minimal bleeding, suture-free closure, and faster healing. Where the laser is not indicated for use, a traditional approach without laser will be carried out.
For the best recovery and results, it is crucial that your gums are in a healthy condition both before and after the procedure. Professional dental cleaning may be recommended beforehand to ensure optimal oral health.
