Crown lengthening is a versatile procedure that can benefit your smile in multiple ways.

Often performed in preparation for a dental crown, this procedure exposes more tooth structure. A crown (a cap placed on a damaged tooth) requires a stable base for optimal function and aesthetics. Crown lengthening helps achieve that stability.

It’s also valuable for more extensive dental work like root canals, implants, or bridges where additional tooth structure is necessary for a secure restoration.

But crown lengthening isn’t just about functionality. It offers a cosmetic solution for a common concern – the “gummy smile.” This procedure can reshape excessive gum tissue around your front teeth, revealing more tooth surface and creating a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile that boosts your confidence.
