Is a Gummy Smile Hiding Your True Potential?


If excess gum tissue makes your teeth look short or gives you a "gummy" smile, Crown Lengthening may be the ideal solution. This precise, minimally invasive procedure expertly reshapes the gum line and underlying bone to reveal your tooth’s natural structure, creating a balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.

PROCEDURE

Your Path to a Perfectly Proportioned Smile


  1. Detailed Consultation & Mapping: We use digital imaging and photography to precisely map your ideal gum line, ensuring symmetry and planning the exact measurements for your tooth exposure.

  2. Gentle Gum Reshaping: Using specialized instruments or gentle soft-tissue lasers, we carefully contour the gum tissue to its new, optimal position.

  3. Subtle Bone Contouring (If Needed): If required, a minimal amount of underlying bone is carefully reshaped to prevent the gums from growing back and to ensure a permanent result.

  4. Final Healing & Recovery: The area is cleaned and protected. We provide clear post-operative instructions for a smooth, quick recovery, revealing your beautifully proportioned new smile.

FAQs

Common Questions About Crown Lengthening


Is crown lengthening a painful procedure?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the surgery. Most patients report mild discomfort afterward, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication. We also offer sedation options for maximum comfort.

How long is the recovery time for crown lengthening?

Most patients return to normal daily activities the day after the procedure. The gums will need 1–2 weeks to initially heal, but the final healing and maturation of the tissue can take 2–3 months.

How long do the results of crown lengthening last?

The results of crown lengthening are considered permanent. Once the gum tissue and bone are reshaped and healed, the new gum line will remain stable, giving you a lasting aesthetic improvement.

Can crown lengthening treat a single tooth?

Yes, crown lengthening can be performed on a single tooth to fix an uneven gum line, on multiple teeth for aesthetic enhancement (like a gummy smile), or to prepare a tooth for a crown.
