Case 1: Smile makeover: Crown Lengthening and Crowns
This lady was unhappy with her smile. Her smile is markedly asymmetric. The gums have receded, exposing the margins of the old crowns and the darkened roots of the teeth. The teeth have different length at the gum level. She also shows too much gums when smiling.
Replacing the crowns without correcting the position of the gums would have let to an unsatisfactory result. The position of the gums was made more harmonious by crown lengthening surgery. After a healing period during which the patient was provided temporary crowns, new restorations were fitted.
