Crown Lengthening

Crown Lengthening

Esthetic crown lengthening is a highly effective solution for individuals with excessive gum tissue, commonly known as a "gummy smile."


In some cases, the gum tissue covers a significant portion of the teeth, making them appear shorter and less proportionate to the rest of your smile. Esthetic crown lengthening involves reshaping the gumline to expose more of the natural tooth structure, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.


The process of esthetic crown lengthening begins with a comprehensive examination by our skilled periodontist or dentist. During this evaluation, we assess the current condition of your gum and bone tissue and discuss your smile goals and expectations.


Once we determine that you are a suitable candidate for the procedure, we will carefully plan and mark the areas of excess gum tissue that need to be removed. In some cases, a small amount of bone may also be removed to ensure a harmonious gumline and proper tooth exposure.


During the actual procedure, local anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Our experienced dental professionals use precise and minimally invasive techniques to remove the marked gum tissue and reshape the gumline to the desired height.


After the gumline is reshaped, we will thoroughly clean the area and suture the gums back into place. We may provide you with temporary protective coverings to aid in the healing process.


The recovery period for esthetic crown lengthening is typically minimal, and you can expect to resume your normal activities soon after the procedure. We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and long-term success.


Esthetic crown lengthening not only enhances the aesthetics of your smile but also serves as an excellent foundation for other cosmetic or restorative dental treatments. By exposing more of your natural tooth structure, it allows for a more precise and secure placement of crowns, veneers, or other dental restorations.


At our Esthetic Crown Lengthening service, we prioritize patient comfort, safety, and satisfaction. Our team of experienced dental professionals will guide you through the process, ensuring you have a positive and rewarding experience with us.
