Esthetic Crown Lengthening

What it is: Tissue—and sometimes supporting bone—is carefully managed to improve tooth display and smile balance.

When considered: It may be considered when gum position affects proportions and the periodontal anatomy permits treatment.

What to expect: We begin with an examination and appropriate records, explain the findings, and tailor the sequence to the tooth, tissues, bite, health and goals.

Limits and next step: Suitability, timing and outcome depend on the clinical findings. Alternatives, maintenance and referral needs are reviewed before treatment.
