Evaluation
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if crown lengthening is right for you.
Aesthetic and functional gum contouring that exposes more tooth structure for improved appearance, access, and oral health.
Crown lengthening removes or reshapes excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth above the gumline. It may help improve a gummy smile, create better access for dental work, or support oral health when decay, breakage, or gum issues are present.
Exposing more tooth structure can create a longer, more balanced tooth appearance.
The procedure may help the dentist access areas affected by decay or breakage.
More accessible tooth surfaces can make cleaning easier and reduce certain oral health risks.
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if crown lengthening is right for you.

Treatment may include evaluation, preparation, precise gum reshaping, and follow-up support.

Crown lengthening may help when excess gum tissue hides tooth structure or limits treatment access.
Some discomfort may occur, but the team uses local anesthesia and comfort measures during treatment.
Recovery varies, but it commonly ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the case.
It can improve oral health by making teeth easier to clean and reducing risks linked to hidden tooth surfaces.
