Crown Lengthening in Burbank, CA

Enhance Your Smile & Oral Health

Crown lengthening is a precise periodontal procedure that reshapes excess gum tissue (and in some cases, a small amount of bone) to reveal more natural tooth structure. It can reduce the appearance of a “gummy” smile for a more balanced look, or provide the proper access and support for a new crown or filling when too little tooth is exposed—improving comfort, longevity, and esthetics in a single, carefully planned visit.

Reclaim Your Smile, Restore Your Confidence

Whether your goal is achieving a more proportional smile or ensuring the success of a restoration, we’ll customize crown lengthening to your anatomy and needs using advanced imaging and gentle techniques.

We’re conveniently located in Burbank, CA. Call (818) 938-2224 to schedule your crown lengthening consultation.

What Is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a gentle periodontal procedure that reshapes the gum line—and, when needed, a small amount of bone—to reveal more natural tooth structure. It can prepare a tooth for a new crown or filling, address decay that extends below the gumline, and refine a “gummy” smile for a more balanced appearance.

  • Support for restorations Creates the space needed to securely place a crown or filling when too little tooth is exposed.
  • Smile esthetics Reduces excess gum display and evens the gumline for proportional balance.
  • Treatment for decay or fractures Reveals hidden tooth structure so sub-gumline damage can be properly treated.
  • Improved gum health Contours that are easier to clean help reduce the risk of inflammation and decay.

Technology We Use

  • Laser dentistry Helps minimize bleeding, reduce discomfort, and may speed healing compared to traditional methods.
  • Cone Beam CT (CBCT) Provides detailed 3D imaging for accurate diagnosis and precise surgical planning.
  • Digital Smile Design Allows you to preview your potential outcome so treatment aligns with your esthetic goals.

Why You Might Need Crown Lengthening

  • Broken tooth near the gumline Exposes enough tooth structure to restore strength and function with a crown or filling.
  • Excessive or uneven gum tissue Creates a more balanced, symmetrical smile line.
  • Decay below the gum Provides access to clean and repair cavities that extend under the gumline.
  • Preparing for a crown or filling Establishes proper margins and support for longer-lasting restorations.

If you’re looking for a more proportional smile or need additional tooth structure for treatment, crown lengthening may be an excellent solution.


What to Expect During Crown Lengthening

  • Comfortable anesthesia The area is gently numbed to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
  • Precise reshaping With lasers and advanced instruments (such as piezoelectric and soft-tissue tools), we carefully contour gum tissue and, if necessary, a small amount of bone to expose healthy tooth structure.
  • Quick recovery Most patients return to normal activities within a few days; we’ll provide clear, simple after-care instructions.
  • Long-lasting results By creating a strong foundation, restorations fit securely and smile esthetics stay balanced.

Our goal is to provide a smooth, comfortable experience that restores both oral health and confidence—customized to your anatomy and smile goals.

We use local anesthesia and laser-assisted tools for a comfortable experience.
