Crown Lengthening

If your teeth appear short or your smile looks “gummy,” crown lengthening may help. This procedure reshapes excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth. It can be done on a single tooth or several teeth.

Your dentist may also recommend crown lengthening to make room for a dental crown, veneer, or other restoration. By exposing more of the tooth structure, the procedure helps ensure long-lasting, successful results.
