Cosmetic Crown Lengthening

Cosmetic Crown Lengthening is performed under local anesthesia and is an oral surgical procedure that Dr. Azim and his team work together to accomplish an amazing smile. Dr. Azim will perform the procedure in our Los Angeles facilities. When the area is numbed, Dr. Azim will pull excess gum tissue away from your teeth by make small incisions in your gums. In some patient cases the doctor may need to remove some small bone that is covering the crown. When the gum and bone tissue has been removed the doctor will get the treated area clean and suture. For a couple of days after your cosmetic procedure, you will be using soft food diet and brush carefully because you don’t want to harm the area. A mild pain reliever like Tylenol or Advil might be used by patients with mild pain and after a few days the patient will feel fine. A follow-up appointment for check up for healing is required in a week to make sure everything healing well.
