Crown Lengthening

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 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.
