Crown lengthening is a specialized dental procedure designed to reshape the gum line, exposing more of the natural tooth structure. This treatment addresses both functional and cosmetic concerns, making it an excellent option for patients who require better access to their teeth for restorative purposes or wish to enhance their smile’s aesthetics. Our dentist and team are experienced in performing crown lengthening with precision and care.

This procedure is often recommended for patients with a “gummy” smile or when more of the tooth surface needs to be visible to secure a dental restoration, such as a crown or filling. By revealing more of the tooth, crown lengthening ensures a secure foundation for restorative treatments and promotes better long-term oral health.

How Is Crown Lengthening Performed?

The process involves carefully adjusting the gum tissue to expose more of the tooth structure. Dr. Kai Chang uses advanced tools and techniques to ensure a comfortable and precise procedure. Before beginning, a comprehensive evaluation is performed to understand your specific needs and goals. This personalized approach ensures that your treatment plan is tailored to achieve the best results.

The procedure itself is minimally invasive and designed to enhance your overall oral health. Recovery is typically straightforward, especially when following the detailed aftercare instructions provided by our team.
