Crown Lengthening
Bellevue, WA
Crown lengthening is a procedure that reshapes the gum and often the underlying bone surrounding one or more teeth to expose more of a healthy tooth.
Crown lengthening is used to:
| • |
Prepare for a porcelain crown or filling. Crown lengthening provides space between the supporting bone and the new restoration, preventing it from damaging your gum tissues and bone.
|
| • |
Improve a "gummy" smile. Teeth may appear short because of excessive gum tissue. We can remove select areas of gum tissue to expose more of your natural tooth and improve your smile. |
Before and after crown lengthening.
Crown lengthening can expose more natural tooth surface to improve a "gummy" smile.
