Crown lengthening

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a specialized dental procedure designed to expose more of your tooth by reshaping the gum tissue and bone, whether for cosmetic reasons or to prepare a tooth for a crown.

What is clinical crown lengthening?

Clinical crown lengthening is a procedure where excess gum tissue and, in some cases, bone are removed to expose more of your tooth structure. This is often done to prepare a tooth for a dental crown or to address issues like a “gummy smile.” By adjusting the gum line, we can help ensure your teeth not only look better but also function properly, especially if you have teeth with decay near the gum line or a tooth that is too short to support a crown.

When is crown lengthening necessary?

Crown lengthening is often recommended in a variety of scenarios, whether for functional or cosmetic reasons.

Preparation for a dental crown

If you need a crown, but there isn’t enough exposed tooth to support it, crown lengthening can reveal more of the tooth to ensure a secure fit. This is known as crown lengthening.

Fixing a gummy smile

Some patients feel that their smile shows too much gum and not enough teeth. Cosmetic crown lengthening can reshape the gum line to create a more aesthetically pleasing balance.

Addressing decay or damage

If decay or damage is located below the gum line, this procedure allows the dentist to access and treat the affected area properly.

Restoring teeth after damage

In cases of broken or severely worn teeth, crown lengthening exposes enough healthy tooth structure to allow for successful restoration.

Exposing more of the tooth ensures that the crown fits securely, reducing the risk of future complications.

Great new dental office in Mineola. Open on Saturday mornings! Great staff and decor. They have thought of every detail from the moment you walk in, the forms get filled on an iPad. Then you can chose from an assortment of beverages. The personal touch is every where. Great job team Neola. Thanks for your help!
The staff is very polite and punctual! I love My results! 10/10 highly recommended.
I changed to this office recently because I moved and I couldn’t love it more. Dr. Contreras is so knowledgeable, the sweetest I’ve ever had and she went above and beyond to make sure I understood everything. I loved the girls at the front desk, so nice and lovely. Esther, the hygienist was awesome.Overall, my experience was amazing.
