Crown lengthening is a common and effective surgical procedure designed to expose more of the natural tooth structure by reshaping or removing excess gum tissue and underlying bone. Often recommended for individuals with a “gummy smile,” where too much gum tissue covers the teeth, this treatment helps create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. It may also be necessary in preparation for certain restorative procedures, such as crowns or fillings, when a tooth is broken or decayed below the gum line.
We are proud to offer advanced laser technology as part of our crown lengthening procedures. The use of dental lasers allows for more precise tissue removal, reduced bleeding, faster healing times, and greater comfort during and after the procedure. This minimally invasive approach enhances the overall patient experience while ensuring optimal clinical results and aesthetic outcomes.
