Crown Lengthening Surgery

Reshape Your Gumline for a Healthier, More Balanced Smile

At Damian Periodontics, we offer crown lengthening to improve both the health and aesthetics of your smile. This procedure reshapes the gum and bone tissue to expose more of your natural tooth structure, whether for cosmetic reasons or to prepare your tooth for a crown or veneer.

Why Consider Crown Lengthening?

• Correct a gummy smile: If your teeth appear short or hidden by excess gum tissue, crown lengthening recontours the gumline for a more balanced, natural-looking smile.

• Make room for a crown or veneers: If there’s not enough tooth structure available due to excess gum tissue, crown lengthening creates the necessary space for restorations like dental crowns and veneers.

• Even out your gumline: If your gumline is uneven, this procedure can reshape it for a more symmetrical appearance.

How Crown Lengthening Works

Crown lengthening is a minimally invasive periodontal procedure designed to expose more of your natural tooth. We carefully remove excess gum and bone tissue to reveal the appropriate amount of your tooth structure while ensuring a smooth, natural contour. This treatment can be performed on a single tooth, multiple teeth, or your entire smile, depending on your needs.

Benefits of Crown Lengthening

• Enhances smile aesthetics – Achieve a more balanced, proportionate smile

• Improves oral health – Reduces areas where bacteria can hide, lowering your risk of gum disease

• Allows for stronger restorations – Creates the space needed for long-lasting dental crowns or veneers

• Minimally invasive & comfortable – Performed with precision for minimal discomfort and quick recovery
