Crown Lengthening

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a periodontic procedure to correct a gummy smile. A gummy smile gives you the appearance of having short teeth. The teeth are actually normal size, but excess gum tissue partially covers them. During crown lengthening, Dr. DeSantis removes excess gum and bone tissue and reshapes gums to reveal more of your natural tooth. She can do this to one tooth, to even your gum line, or to several teeth to reveal your natural smile.

Dr. DeSantis may also recommend crown lengthening to make a restorative or cosmetic dental procedure possible. Your tooth could be decayed, broken below the gum line, or have insufficient structure for a restoration such as a crown or bridge. Crown lengthening corrects the gum and bone level to expose more of the tooth so it can be restored properly.
