Master Crown Lengthening with Dr Azim Malik’s Specialist Course in the UK

What Is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a minor surgical procedure that adjusts the gum and bone level around a tooth. By exposing more of the tooth’s surface, dentists can:

• Support crowns, bridges, or other restorative treatments

• Improve the balance of your smile if your gums cover too much of your teeth

• Help reduce the risk of future gum issues by creating a more manageable gum line

This treatment is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, and patients can often return to daily activities shortly afterwards.

Why It Matters for Patients

Many people are surprised to learn how much their gum line affects the way their teeth look and function. Crown lengthening is not just about appearance—it’s also about creating stability and protecting long-term oral health.

Dr Azim Malik explains:

“By carefully reshaping the gum and bone, we can make sure that restorative work such as crowns or fillings sits securely. This helps patients enjoy their treatment results for years to come.”

Learning from Dr Azim Malik

Dr Malik’s crown lengthening course at EduDent Academy provides hands-on training for dentists who want to carry out the procedure safely and effectively. For patients, this means your dentist may have trained with Dr Malik to deliver care with confidence and precision.

Dental hygienist Sarah commented:

“When dentists have access to high-quality training, patients benefit from treatments that feel more comfortable and are planned with greater attention to detail.”

What Patients Can Expect

If your dentist suggests crown lengthening, here’s what typically happens:

• Assessment – Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.

• Treatment Plan – You’ll receive clear guidance on what the procedure involves.

• Procedure – The gum and bone are carefully reshaped to create the right foundation.

• Recovery – Most patients experience mild tenderness, which usually settles within days.
