Anterior Aesthetic Crown Lengthening

One component of a beautiful smile is proper proportions of the structures making up the mouth. In some people, their smile reveals full gum tissue above the teeth which makes the teeth appear shorter, like baby teeth.

Crown lengthening involves trimming a small amount of gum tissue and bone to lift and move the gumline up, making it appear more balanced and even while making the teeth appear longer. This corrects the look of short teeth and results in a more esthetically-pleasing smile. It also contributes to improved periodontal health since pockets can more easily form in excess gum tissue.

Improving the appearance of the smile contributes greatly to an improved self-image and self confidence.
