Crown lengthening is an advanced periodontal (gum and bone) procedure that exposes more of the natural tooth structure by reshaping gum tissue and, in some cases, the underlying bone. It is performed for cosmetic smile enhancement and functional dental restoration, allowing proper placement of crowns, veneers, and fillings.
When Crown Lengthening is Recommended
- Gummy smile (excess gum covering teeth)
- Short-looking teeth or uneven gum line
- Smile makeover planning (veneers / cosmetic crowns)
- Tooth decay or fracture below the gum line
- Insufficient tooth structure for crown placement
- Deep cavities extending under the gums
- Biological width issues causing chronic inflammation
Advanced Techniques
- Laser crown lengthening (precise, minimally invasive, faster healing)
- Surgical crown lengthening with bone reshaping when needed
- Microsurgical crown lengthening under magnification
- Digital smile design guided gum reshaping
Step-by-Step Procedure
- Digital smile and clinical evaluation (photos, X-rays)
- Personalized treatment planning
- Gentle local anesthesia
- Gum reshaping (and bone contouring when required)
- Sutures if needed and guided healing
- Final restoration (crowns/veneers/fillings) after healing
Benefits
- Improves gummy smile and tooth proportions
- Supports long-lasting crowns and veneers
- Enhances smile aesthetics and confidence
- Minimally invasive options with faster healing
- Preserves long-term gum and bone health
