Crown lengthening is a dental procedure used to reveal more of your tooth structure by extracting or reshaping excess gum tissue in order to enhance the aesthetics of your smile. It may also be performed in order to prepare for dental restorations like crowns or veneers if there is too much gum tissue preventing a secure bond to the tooth surface.

Laser Crown Lengthening Services at Marconi Dental Aesthetics

At Marconi Dental Aesthetics, we employ cutting-edge laser technology for crown lengthening procedures. Our lasers work on both hard and soft tissue for an enhanced smile; with more comfortable experiences and quicker recovery times compared to traditional methods.

Benefits of Laser Crown Lengthening

  •  Increased precision – Our dentists use laser technology to extend crown lengthening procedures with greater accuracy and precision, targeting only areas deemed worthy of treatment.
  • Minimal discomfort – Many patients prefer laser dentistry as this treatment method is less painful and causes less swelling than traditional dental tools.
  • Faster Recovery – Utilizing a laser will significantly decrease trauma to your gums, leading to faster healing time and less bleeding – meaning you’ll soon be enjoying the results of crown lengthening!
  • Improved Results – Laser precision ensures our dentists can give you the results necessary for a beautiful and healthy smile.

How We Works

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Most cleanings and exams last about an hour to an hour and a half, ensuring every step of your care is thorough and comfortable.

Evaluation & Smile Design

We start with a full exam of your teeth and gums, photos, and X-rays if needed. From there, we decide whether crown lengthening is best to improve your smile line or to expose more tooth structure for a crown or veneer.

Comfortable Laser Gum Contouring

After numbing the area, we use advanced laser technology to gently remove or reshape excess gum tissue around the tooth. This allows more of the natural tooth to show and creates a more balanced, aesthetic gum line.

Refining the Gumline & Tissue Shaping

We carefully sculpt the gums so they frame each tooth harmoniously. The laser works on both soft and, when needed, hard tissue with high precision, helping minimize bleeding and swelling during the procedure.

Healing, Follow-Up & Final Restoration

Healing is typically quicker with laser treatment. We provide simple aftercare instructions and schedule follow-ups to monitor your gums. Once healed, we can place your final crown or veneer (if planned) on a healthier, more exposed tooth for a stronger and more beautiful result.
