Crown Lengthening in Ho Chi Minh City

A balanced smile, gum line included

Crown lengthening reshapes the gum, and sometimes the bone beneath it, so that more of the tooth shows. It can correct a gummy smile or prepare a short or broken tooth for a crown.

Who is it for?

Who is suitable for Crown Lengthening?

Common situations where crown lengthening can help. Your dentist confirms what is right for you at the free check-up.

02

Teeth that look small because the gum covers them.

03

Uneven gum line

Gums that sit at different heights across the smile.

04

Broken near the gum

Exposing more tooth so a crown can hold.

05

Before veneers

Balancing the gum line for a better veneer result.
