WHAT IS CROWN LENGTHENING?

Crown lengthening is a precise dental procedure that involves reshaping the gum tissue and bone around a tooth to expose more of the tooth's surface. This technique is often used to prepare a tooth for a crown or other restorative work. The procedure is safe, efficient, and can significantly enhance the appearance and longevity of your dental work.

How It Works

STABILIZATION:

Once the reshaping is complete, the gums are sutured back into place, creating a new, more aesthetically pleasing gum line.

HEALING:

Over the next few weeks, the gums will gradually heal, revealing a longer tooth structure and improved smile.
