Laser Crown Lengthening in South Delhi

Laser crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that is used for re-contouring the gum tissue. It refers to the process of removing a part of your gum to give lengthening to your crown. There are two parts of a tooth - a crown and root. Crown is the visible one while the latter is embedded in bone. In this procedure, the laser is either used to ablate (vaporize) the tissue required or to use as one would use a scalpel. In both cases, it is the exposure of more tooth material that is required. The laser light can either be emitted continuously or in intervals as a pulse.   Why do you need to undergo this procedure? You might require the crown lengthening procedure for several reasons, such as: ·        If there isn’t enough of the tooth in place to hold the crown on its own. Teeth that are affected by tooth decay may prohibit a crown from firmly attaching. ·        Crown lengthening reduces gum tissue and shaves down bone when necessary, so more of the tooth is above the gum
