Crown Lengthening

Do your gums take up too much space in your smile?

Maybe you need a crown, but due to damage or decay, you don’t have enough of your tooth exposed to support one. If so, crown lengthening may help. During this minor surgical procedure, the doctor will alter both soft (gum) and hard (tooth) tissues with the help of a laser. Both the gum and supporting bone are modified creating a more even gum line. If you need extensive crown lengthening, we may refer you to a trusted periodontist in the area.
