Crown Lengthening
A carefully planned procedure that reshapes the gumline and supporting structures when clinically appropriate.
What is Crown Lengthening?
Crown lengthening may be performed for functional or aesthetic reasons.
In some cases, excess gum tissue can make teeth appear shorter or create a gummy smile. In other situations, crown lengthening may be required to improve access to tooth structure for restorative treatment.
Treatment is planned according to individual anatomy and dental needs.

Common questions about Crown Lengthening, treatment timelines, comfort, and care expectations.
No. Crown lengthening is frequently performed for functional reasons—such as when a tooth is broken near the gumline and requires more visible tooth structure to securely support a dental crown.
