Crown lengthening is a precise periodontal procedure that reshapes excess gum (and sometimes a small amount of bone) to reveal more natural tooth structure. It can reduce a “gummy” smile for a more balanced look, or create the proper access and support for a new crown or filling when too little tooth is exposed—improving comfort, longevity, and esthetics in one carefully planned visit.
Whether your goal is a more proportional smile or ensuring the success of a restoration, we’ll tailor crown lengthening to your anatomy and goals using modern imaging and gentle techniques.
We’re conveniently located in Glendale, CA. Call (818) 975-3757 to schedule your crown lengthening consultation.
Crown lengthening is a gentle periodontal procedure that reshapes the gum line—and, when needed, a small amount of bone—to reveal more natural tooth structure. It can prepare a tooth for a new crown or filling, treat decay that extends below the gumline, and refine a “gummy” smile for a more balanced look.
If you’re seeking a more proportional smile or need additional tooth structure for treatment, crown lengthening may be an excellent solution.
