Laser Crown Lengthening

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped ‘caps’ that fit over a natural tooth for aesthetic or structural reasons. A crown may be recommended when a tooth is cracked, broken, or misshapen.

Crown lengthening can be necessary if there isn’t enough of the tooth in place to hold the crown on its own.

Teeth that are broken or affected by tooth decay may prohibit a crown from firmly attaching. Some people seek crown lengthening to alter a “gummy smile,” in which the gums are visible above the teeth when smiling.

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.

At EGO Dental, we perform crown lengthening by recontouring the gum tissue with a dental laser, and sometimes bone, to expose more of a tooth’s surface for a crown. It’s a common procedure and often takes less than an hour to complete.

Dental Laser – Q & A

What is a dental laser and how does it work?

A dental laser is an instrument that produces a very narrow, intense beam of light energy. When laser light comes in contact with tissue, it causes a reaction. The beam of light produced by the laser has the ability to remove, vaporise, or shape soft tissues (gums, cheeks and tongue) or hard tissues (removal of decay).

Will it hurt?

Laser dentistry is wonderful because in many cases it will actually decrease any pain of a procedure and also reduce the need for you to require anaesthesia – no needles or injections. While no treatment is always painless, the laser may reduce the need for postoperative pain medication and may reduce swelling and bleeding.

Is it safe?

Lasers have been used in dentistry since the 1990s. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has determined that lasers provide safe and effective treatment for a wide range of applications and as long as it is used by experts like at EGO Dental, it is at least as safe as other dental instruments.

Are any precautions necessary?

Yes. You will be asked to wear special eyeglasses to protect your eyes from the laser light beam.

What about bleeding?

Use of a laser means that there is less blood during soft tissue procedures than there would be with more traditional treatments.

How is laser beneficial in dentistry?

There are a lot of benefits to the laser treatments we offer at our dental clinic and practice:

  • Versatile dental tools
  • Minimally invasive surgery device
  • Allows shorter treatment time
  • Allows you to heal faster
  • Reduces infection risks
  • Laser treatments are cutting edge and precise
  • Laser treatment can remove bacteria and symptoms more quickly and effectively then traditional treatments
  • It can control bleeding during surgery
  • Laser causes less loss of blood as compared to other dental therapies
  • Post treatment – most of the time pain less – discomfort

Is laser safe within dentistry?

Our clinic has professional Dental laser experts who are experienced in their fields and conduct laser treatments in accordance with accepted clinical practices and standards.

I have had many treatments with the team at EGO and despite my deep fears of dentists, they have always made me feel comfortable and secure. Charlie has even used a Virtual breathing VR experience to help me relaxed.
They are also always considering your well being during treatments.
I’m extremely happy with this clinic! Everything was excellent and well organized. Dr. Attariani is highly skilled both professionally and technically, and I always felt I was in very safe hands. The entire team is incredibly friendly, attentive, and creates a very welcoming atmosphere.
I visited for dental treatment and also had a tattoo removal done here. Both experiences were outstanding and handled with great care and professionalism.
Highly recommended, everything here is just right!
Golnar, Charlie, and the entire team is kind, helpful and incredibly professional! I have had several routine treatments like fillings done over the past five years there, as well as getting Invisalign. The tools and materials are always top notch, the clinic is immaculate and modern, and they always have a kind word and a smile for you. I could not recommend them more, and I am lucky to have found them!
