Crown Lengthening

Crown Lengthening

Do you feel that your teeth look too short or does your smile seem "gummy?" Or perhaps you have an uneven gum line? If so, dental crown lengthening might be the solution for you.  Your teeth probably are not "too short" at all.  In fact, they are just the right length.  You simply have too much gum tissue covering your teeth and hiding your smile.  During this procedure, excess gum tissue is removed to expose more of the crown of the tooth.  Then your gum line is sculped to give your new smile just the right look.
