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’s surface.

·       A properly fitted crown allows for better oral hygiene and comfort.

·       Some people seek crown lengthening to alter a ‘gummy smile’, in which the gums are visible above the teeth when smiling.

 

Laser crown lengthening procedure

Crown lengthening is effective to treat broken teeth. Dentists scrutinize if enough space is available for the tooth to hold the crown. Before the laser crown lengthening procedure, a dentist would ascertain the medical state of the patients, conduct necessary tests and perform an in depth oral examination respectively. Many factors are taken into consideration while conducting this procedure, which includes:

·       The current state of the tooth that is to be treated.

·       Understand the kind of tooth, its shape, roots and position.

·       Anatomy of the near soft tissues and the linking of your facial muscles.

·       The current width of your inter-dental bone.

·       Quantity and quality of bone present in between one’s teeth.

 

 

 

Advantages of laser crown lengthening

Compared to traditional gum surgery, laser crown lengthening offers a number of advantages. Patients who undergo this treatment can enjoy:

1.    Less discomfort – During laser crown lengthening, there is less bleeding because our diode laser cauterizes as it incises. This means less swelling and discomfort.

2.    Faster treatment – Because laser dentistry is so precise, it is less time-consuming compared to traditional approaches. Therefore, patients spend less time in the dental chair.

3.    Shorter recovery time – With less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort, most patients are able to return to normal day-to-day life within a day or two.

4.    Reduced noise – One of the most off-putting things about traditional surgery is the unsettling sounds from dental drills and other instruments. Dental lasers eliminate this noise for a more comfortable and relaxing treatment experience.
