Crown lengthening carefully recontours gum tissue (and sometimes bone) to reveal more of the tooth underneath. It can create the room needed to restore a tooth broken near the gumline, or bring balance to a smile that shows too much gum when you grin.
Why patients choose it
- Enables restoration of broken teeth
- Evens out a gummy smile
- Improves gum symmetry
- Quick recovery
