What are the risks/complications?

Crown lengthening is considered a minor surgical procedure.

You will likely experience the following after the surgery, which should resolve on its own:

  1. Increased tooth sensitivity
  2. Increased tooth mobility

However, the following standard risks of surgery still apply, with a higher risk of occurrence in certain patient groups (e.g. immunocompromised patients, medically compromised patients on blood thinners):

  1. Prolonged bleeding
  2. Post-operative infection

In certain cases, the following complications may also happen:

        3. Numbness of the tongue due to injury to the lingual nerve
