 Cosmetic Crown Lengthening | Connective Tissue Grafting | Lip Repositioning | Pigmentation Removal
Cosmetic crown lengthening is done to improve a “gummy smile” or to recontour uneven gingival margins. Sometimes teeth appear short, when they are actually the proper size but are covered with excessive gum tissue. This can be corrected by removing excess tissue to reshape the tissues and expose more of the tooth structure. The outcome is a more esthetically pleasing, natural-looking smile.
In some cases, reshaping the gum and supporting tissues provides your general dentist with adequate room to place quality final crowns or veneer restorations. Cosmetic crown lengthening is critical and necessary in such cases in order to establish a natural smile when the front teeth are too short or uneven in length. Cosmetic crown lengthening can create a beautiful new smile and improved periodontal health – your keys to smiling, eating and speaking with comfort and confidence.
