Achieving a radiant smile extends beyond conventional dental considerations, with gum tissue playing a pivotal role. Excessive gum tissue can pose a spectrum of issues, ranging from heightened susceptibility to gingivitis to the potential onset of periodontal disease. Periodontal Associates presents an innovative solution known as esthetic crown lengthening in Aurora, CO, delivered by our esteemed periodontists.
Understanding What a Gummy Smile is
The presence of excess gum tissue, commonly associated with a “gummy smile,” not only raises cosmetic concerns but also introduces functional and oral health challenges. The surplus of gum tissue creates an environment conducive to harmful bacteria, fostering conditions that may lead to gingivitis or, in severe cases, periodontal disease. The imperative to promptly address excessive gum tissue underscores its role in overall oral health.
Enhancing Smiles with Crown Lengthening
Dr. Douglas Heller and Dr. Eric Beckman specialize in revitalizing smiles through esthetic crown lengthening, a procedure tailored to each individual’s unique needs, ensuring a harmonious balance between aesthetics and oral health. In some instances, patients may also benefit from dental crowns to complement the esthetic crown lengthening process. Dental crowns not only enhance the appearance of teeth but also optimize their functionality, especially when teeth appear shorter due to being enveloped in excess gum tissue.
A cornerstone of our approach is the integration of cutting-edge technology. We employ state-of-the-art intraoral scanners to meticulously map the ideal shape of teeth, creating a precise digital model. This ensures that gums are positioned for both optimal aesthetics and functionality, facilitating the crafting of a smile that radiates beauty and boasts superior functionality.
