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