Gummy smile
Too much gum showing when you smile.
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.
Benefits
Teeth look longer and better proportioned.
Exposing more tooth can make a crown possible instead of an extraction.
Combined with smile design for a predictable result.
Procedure
From your first visit to the final result.
Your dentist measures the gum and bone levels and plans the new gum line.
The gum, and bone if needed, is reshaped under local anaesthetic.
The gum settles over a few weeks before any crowns or veneers are made.
