Crown-Lengthening Procedures

Crown lengthening is a dental procedure used to expose more of a tooth’s structure by carefully reshaping the gum tissue and, in some cases, the underlying bone. This treatment may be recommended when a tooth is damaged below the gum line, has insufficient structure for a dental crown or restoration, or when excess gum tissue creates a “gummy” smile. By exposing more of the tooth, crown lengthening can improve both oral health and aesthetics.

During the procedure, the gum tissue is gently adjusted to reveal a greater portion of the natural tooth. This creates the necessary space for restorative treatments such as crowns, bridges, or fillings while ensuring a secure and long-lasting result. In cosmetic cases, crown lengthening can create a more balanced and attractive smile by improving the proportion of the teeth and gums.

Our team uses advanced techniques and careful treatment planning to make crown lengthening as comfortable and effective as possible. Whether the procedure is performed for restorative or cosmetic reasons, our goal is to improve the health, function, and appearance of your smile. With proper care and regular dental visits, the results of crown lengthening can provide long-term benefits for both oral health and confidence.
