Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a common surgical dental procedure that increases the amount of tooth on show by removing some of the gum tissue.

Your teeth may be the right length, but because they’re covered in too much gum tissue, they can appear short and give you a gummy smile.

Your dentist may also recommend a crown lengthening if your teeth are very worn or you require a filling or crown, but there isn’t sufficient tooth above the gum line to complete the restoration.

The procedure involves reshaping excess gum tissue and bone to expose more of your natural tooth. The procedure can be performed on one or several teeth.
