What is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a procedure that removes excess gum tissue and sometimes bone to expose more of your natural tooth structure. This treatment serves both restorative and cosmetic purposes—whether you need more tooth surface for a dental crown or simply want a more balanced smile.

Dr. Kwok and Dr. Morcos use a gentle diode laser to carefully sculpt your gumline, revealing the tooth structure needed for successful restorations or improved aesthetics. The laser seals tissue as it works, which means less discomfort and faster healing compared to traditional methods.

Benefits of Crown Lengthening

1. Enables Restorations

Exposes enough healthy tooth structure for crowns, bridges, or fillings to fit securely and last longer.

2. Improved Aesthetics

Creates a more proportionate appearance when excess gum tissue makes teeth look short or uneven.

3. Minimally Invasive

Our diode laser technology allows for precise reshaping with minimal discomfort and reduced healing time.

4. Long-Lasting Protection

Provides proper access for restorations that seal correctly against bacteria and decay.

Who Needs Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening helps patients who need more exposed tooth structure for dental work or cosmetic improvement. You may be a good candidate if:

Broken or Decayed Teeth: Your tooth has damage below the gumline that needs to be accessed for repair.
Short Clinical Crowns: There isn’t enough visible tooth above the gum to support a crown or other restoration.
Uneven Gumline: Excess gum tissue creates an asymmetrical or “gummy” appearance you’d like to correct.
Failed Restorations: Previous dental work keeps coming loose because there wasn’t enough tooth structure to hold it.
