Crown Lengthening
Dental Crown Lengthening for Improved Aesthetics and Function
Crown lengthening treatments remove the excess gum tissue in the area around one or several of your teeth, which exposes additional tooth structure over the gum line. This is a good option for those who have a “gummy” smile or to give you better access to fix issues related to broken or decayed teeth or gums that have been infected.
During the treatment, you will see your gums separated from your jawbone and tooth. The bone is smoothed, if necessary, before reattaching your gums below the teeth. With a greater amount of tooth structure visible over the gumline, your teeth appear wider, and your gums are less noticeable.
