Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a dental procedure that involves reshaping the gum and bone tissues surrounding a tooth to expose more of the tooth’s structure. It is typically performed to create a better foundation for dental restorations or to address issues such as a gummy smile. The procedure helps to increase the visible tooth surface, creating a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing smile.

THE PROCESS OF CROWN LENGTHENING

During a crown lengthening procedure, our experienced dentist will first administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Then, they will carefully remove excess gum tissue and, if necessary, reshape the underlying bone to expose more of the tooth. The procedure is performed with precision and attention to detail to achieve the desired outcome. Once the necessary adjustments are made, the area is thoroughly cleaned and the gums are sutured into their new position.
