Crown Lengthening

The crown lengthening procedure is a procedure that is performed to increase the part of the tooth that shows when you smile.

Crown lengthening can effectively improve a tooth’s appearance by adjusting the shape and length of the visible part of the tooth. A dental surgeon will do this by reshaping gum tissue and sometimes bone, exposing more of a tooth’s surface. Crown lengthening is a relatively simple procedure that usually takes less than an hour.
