— THE PROCEDURE

Cosmetic and functional — in the same step.

Crown lengthening reshapes the gum and, when needed, the underlying bone to expose more of the tooth. Cosmetically, it fixes a smile where the gums dominate. Functionally, it gives a future crown enough tooth structure to grip onto.

The procedure is done under local anesthesia, usually in 30–60 minutes per area. We use precise instruments — sometimes a diode laser — to contour gum tissue with very little bleeding and minimal discomfort.

  • Cosmetic — corrects gummy smile
  • Functional — exposes tooth for stable crowning
  • Done under local anesthesia
  • Laser-assisted option available

Frequently asked questions

Gum tissue heals without visible scarring. After 4–6 weeks you won't be able to tell where the work was done — only the new, more proportionate smile remains.
