Crown Lengthening Near You
Reshape Gum and Bone to Reveal More Natural Tooth
Why Crown Lengthening Matters
Crown lengthening reshapes excess gum and bone to expose more of the natural tooth structure. The support of the tooth is not affected. This procedure can be done on one or more teeth for cosmetic purposes, and it may also be recommended to make a restorative or cosmetic dental procedure possible.
Exposes more natural tooth structure above the gumline
Can improve the appearance of one or more teeth
Helps make crowns or restorations possible
Supports treatment when decay or damage is below the gums
What to Expect During Your Procedure
During crown lengthening, your periodontist carefully reshapes excess gum and bone to reveal more of the tooth. This may be recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, broken below the gum line, or when your dentist needs better access to prepare the tooth before a crown is made.
Evaluation And Treatment Planning
We assess the tooth and gumline to determine the amount of exposure needed.
