Crown lengthening is a simple procedure involving removal of excess gum tissue. At Advantage Dentistry, our doctors perform this in order to place restorations on a tooth or to expose more of the tooth for aesthetics. The short procedure is performed in the office with local anesthetic and gum tissue is removed with a scalpel or laser tool.
If gum tissue is being removed to make room for a restoration like a crown to fit around the tooth, you may only need gum tissue removed from one or two teeth. Some patients naturally have more gum tissue than others and it can result in the appearance of short teeth or a gummy smile. In this case, your dentist can remove excess gum tissue along the entire gum line to expose more of each tooth and create an even, stunning smile! If you think your smile would benefit from crown lengthening, please contact us.
