Crown Lengthening in Villa Park, IL
Enhance your smile and improve dental health with precision treatment
Where Should I Start?
Crown lengthening is a dental procedure that reshapes the gum and bone around a tooth to expose more of its natural structure. It is often recommended for:
- Functional reasons – when a tooth is too short or broken below the gumline and needs more structure to support a crown or filling.
- Esthetic reasons – for patients with a “gummy smile,” where too much gum tissue shows when smiling.
At Aspire Advanced Dentistry, we use digital imaging and careful surgical planning to ensure your treatment is comfortable, precise, and tailored to your goals.
What Happens During the Treatment Phase?
At Aspire Advanced Dentistry, your crown lengthening treatment is a team-based approach. The prosthodontist and the periodontist collaborate closely to design a plan that is both functional and esthetic.
- Treatment planning: Dr. Ahmadian, your board-certified prosthodontist, will digitally plan your treatment, including smile design and restorative needs.
- Surgical execution: The periodontist will then perform the crown lengthening surgery using customized surgical guides provided by Dr. Ahmadian, ensuring the results align precisely with your restorative and esthetic goals.
- Integration: This collaborative approach ensures that your gums and teeth are prepared for long-term success, whether for a crown, veneer, or a more balanced smile line.
