We can provide a more accurate time estimate after a thorough examination and comprehensive treatment planning.

Assessing whether you are a good candidate for crown lengthening involves reviewing your dental history, conducting a physical examination, and possibly taking X-rays. It is important to identify any gum conditions, medical conditions, or any type of severe condition that may affect the procedure. An experienced dentist at Toothsome Implants Chatswood will be best suited to determine your candidacy.

At Toothsome Implants Chatswood, our dentists have advanced training and provide a personalised service to ensure you get the best outcome. A complimentary patient review will help assess if crown lengthening is right for you.

It is important to consider any dietary restrictions that may come with the procedure.

After crown lengthening surgery, it is advised to eat soft foods and avoid anything hard, crunchy, or sticky for a week or until the gum tissue has healed. Hot, spicy foods and anything with seeds or small grains should also be avoided. A balanced diet with plenty of fluids is recommended to ensure proper nutrition and healing.

Although crown lengthening is a safe and effective procedure, there are some potential risks and complications that must be considered before undergoing dental surgery. These include gum disease, bone regeneration, and the eventual loss of an adult tooth. If a decayed tooth is present, there is also a risk of flaring of teeth or gaps between teeth after removal.

Expert knowledge and skill are required to reduce the risks of these complications, and our team at Toothsome Implants Chatswood is highly experienced in this field. We take all necessary precautions to ensure a safe and successful procedure and provide comprehensive post-operative care to minimise any potential risks.

It is important to properly prepare for the procedure to ensure its success. At Toothsome Implants Chatswood, we recommend maintaining good oral hygiene, following a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol and smoking, and arranging for a ride home if you will be receiving sedation.

It is also important to discuss your current medications with us to ensure none will interfere with the procedure. Additionally, we provide specific instructions to our patients during their pre-operative consultation to make sure they are fully prepared for the surgical tooth exposure, tooth roots, tooth movement, and tooth sensitivity that comes with crown lengthening.
