Crown lengthening is a procedure that reshapes the gum and bone around a tooth to reveal more of the natural tooth structure. At Sullivan Dental Center, our dentists and team use this technique to help improve oral health and enhance the aesthetics of your smile with careful, customized care.
This procedure may be recommended for several reasons. Some patients need crown lengthening to support a restoration, while others want to correct a “gummy” smile or create more balance between teeth and gums. Regardless of the reason, our goal is to ensure your teeth and gums work together in a way that feels natural and looks great.
Because this is a targeted treatment, crown lengthening often results in significant improvement with minimal impact on surrounding areas. It is a straightforward solution that can make restorative and cosmetic treatments more effective and longer lasting.
Tailored Treatment and Thoughtful Care
Our dentists and team take time to evaluate your oral health and explain the crown lengthening process in detail. We want every patient to feel informed and confident before beginning treatment. During your consultation, we will assess your needs and create a personalized plan that fits both your health goals and smile preferences.
The procedure is performed with precision and care, typically using advanced tools to gently contour the soft tissue and bone. This exposes more of the tooth’s surface while maintaining gum health and protecting surrounding structures.
We are committed to providing a calm, supportive experience. Your comfort is important to us at every step of the process. From consultation to recovery, we will guide you with clear instructions and follow-up care to promote healing and long-term success.
