Overview of Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening might sound like a treatment that makes your teeth longer, but it actually involves removing gum tissue to show more of your teeth. Many people use this treatment to improve the look of their smile, but it can also be used to make room for other restorative treatments. Crown lengthening can help if you have a “gummy” smile or if not enough of your tooth is showing to support a crown, filling, veneers, etc. If you want to enhance your smile’s look and overall health with a crown lengthening treatment, give us a call for more info or to schedule an appointment at one of our locations in San Diego, CA.
Best Candidates For Crown Lengthening
The best candidates for crown lengthening treatment have a healthy mouth and gums. If you have gum disease, you may need to come in for a cleaning to prepare your mouth and gums for your crown lengthening. This treatment is perfect for anyone who has a “gummy” smile and wants to show a little more teeth. It’s also a great way to make space for a crown or other dental restoration if your gums cover up too much of your teeth. In both cases, we’ll remove excess gum tissue to reveal more of your crown, improving the look of your smile and giving you an even gumline.
