About
Crown lengthening is a specialized periodontal procedure designed to expose more of a tooth’s structure, either to improve its appearance or to prepare it for restorative treatment such as a crown or filling. This procedure can also help balance the gum line for a healthier and more attractive smile.
During the treatment, excess gum tissue, and in some cases, a small amount of bone is gently reshaped to reveal the proper amount of tooth structure. The specific approach varies depending on your needs, so a careful consultation is essential to determine the best technique and expected outcome.
Crown lengthening can improve both the function and aesthetics of your teeth, creating a healthier foundation for restorative treatments and a more confident, natural-looking smile.
