Medical Conditions - Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a procedure done to address gummy smiles. The process involves removing soft tissue and bone to increase the amount of tooth visible. The periodontist performs this procedure in a single tooth or multiple teeth. It is advised for cosmetic purposes to expose cavities above the gum line, expose more tooth structure before fitting a bridge, or expose fractured areas of the tooth.
