Dayboro QLD Crown Lengthening Dentist

When decay occurs below the gumline, it may be necessary to remove a small amount of bone and gum tissue. Your dentist may ask for this procedure before he or she makes a new crown for your tooth.

Crown Lengthening procedures are done for both restorative dentistry and/or to improve the esthetics of your gum line. General practitioners often refer for crown lengthening procedures prior to restoration of broken or severely decayed teeth. This procedure adjusts the gum and bone level to expose more of the tooth so it can be restored.

Sometimes crown lengthening is done to improve a "gummy" smile because the teeth appear short. The teeth may actually be the proper length but excess gum tissue may be covering these teeth. During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth

Great oral care starts at home. Daily brushing and flossing are the best ways to protect your teeth and gums long-term. By sticking to a simple routine, you can greatly reduce the risk of gingivitis and tooth decay as you age.

Gingivitis occurs when bacteria build up around the teeth and enter the gums, causing irritation, inflammation, and bleeding. To prevent it from progressing, regular hygiene visits are essential. At your appointment, our hygiene team will guide you on proper flossing techniques and home care routines to help protect against periodontal disease.

Sensitive teeth are often caused by gum recession, which exposes the underlying dentin and makes it easier for food and drinks to reach the tooth’s nerves. This can lead to discomfort or sharp pain. Fortunately, sensitivity can be managed with special toothpastes, gels, and professional dental treatments. If you struggle with sensitive teeth, talk to us - we can help.
