A crown lengthening is a common procedure designed to re-contour the gum tissue and bone around a tooth. It's often performed to reduce the appearance of a "gummy smile" when too much gum tissue and far too little tooth structure get displayed when smiling. We may perform a crown lengthening procedure on a single tooth to make the gum line appear even with the other teeth or on several teeth to improve a smile's overall appearance.
A crown lengthening procedure can also make more tooth structure available for a retentive dental crown or bridge when a tooth is decayed or otherwise damaged below the gum line.
Crown lengthening is a versatile dental procedure that enhances both the function and appearance of teeth. This technique reshapes gum tissue and bone structure, making it ideal for preparing teeth for crowns or bridges, addressing excessive gum tissue, and improving overall smile aesthetics. With minimal invasiveness and a focus on patient comfort, crown lengthening offers transformative results for those seeking a healthier, more confident smile.
