Aumento de Coroa: A Small Dental Fix That Can Make a Big Difference with Dr. Arya Edalat

 

Ever hear your dentist mention “aumento de coroa” (crown lengthening) and wonder what that actually means? You’re not alone. It may sound a bit technical, but it’s actually a simple and very helpful dental procedure — and it might be just what your smile needs.

 

So, What Is “Aumento de Coroa”?

In everyday terms, aumento de coroa (crown lengthening) is when we gently move the gum line to show more of your natural tooth. This is usually done when a tooth is broken close to the gum, too short for a crown, or when there’s too much gum covering your teeth and it affects your smile.

It can also be a cosmetic choice — especially for people who feel like they have a “gummy” smile and want their teeth to look a little longer and more even.

Why Might You Need It?

There are a few situations where aumento de coroa (crown lengthening) is really helpful:

• If a tooth broke and we need more room to place a crown or filling

• If decay is hiding under the gums

• If your gums are covering too much of your teeth, making your smile look uneven

• Or simply to make a dental restoration fit and last properly

What’s the Procedure Like?

The treatment is straightforward. At Dr. Arya Edalat’s clinic, we’ll numb the area to keep you comfortable, then carefully reshape the gum tissue — and sometimes a little bit of bone — around the tooth. It’s all about precision and comfort. After the procedure, you’ll go home with clear instructions and usually heal within a couple of weeks.
