A beautiful smile is about more than just straight, white teeth-it’s about the perfect balance between your teeth and gums. At Mission Implant Center, we offer Cosmetic Crown Lengthening, a highly effective procedure designed to reshape and recontour your gum line, enhancing the appearance of your teeth and giving you the perfect, proportionate smile you’ve always wanted.
Whether you feel that your smile looks “gummy” or you want to prepare your teeth for restorative work like crowns or veneers, cosmetic crown lengthening can dramatically improve the aesthetics of your smile, while ensuring a healthy foundation for future dental treatments
Cosmetic crown lengthening is a procedure that involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of your natural tooth. This process reshapes the gum line, creating a more even, proportional appearance. Often used to treat what is commonly referred to as a “gummy smile,” crown lengthening gives your teeth a longer, more natural look by exposing the hidden parts of the tooth structure.
This procedure can also be used to prepare your teeth for restorative or cosmetic dental treatments such as crowns, veneers, or bridges by creating enough space for these restorations to fit properly and look natural.
If you feel that your teeth appear too short or your smile shows too much gum tissue, cosmetic crown lengthening can help balance the ratio of gums to teeth, giving you a more aesthetically pleasing smile. By carefully sculpting the gum tissue, this procedure exposes more of your teeth, creating a fuller, more symmetrical look.
In addition to its cosmetic benefits. crown lengthening can also improve the health of your gums. Removing excess gum tissue reduces the pockets where bacteria can accumulate, lowering your risk for gum disease and promoting better oral hygiene.
Cosmetic crown lengthening is often necessary before placing crowns, veneers, or other restorations. By creating more visible tooth structure, this procedure ensures that the restorative work fits properly and securely, enhancing both the look and function of your teeth.
Some patients have an uneven gum line, where some teeth appear longer than others due to excess gum tissue. Crown lengthening can correct this imbalance, giving you a smoother, more symmetrical gum line and a more polished appearance.
A balanced, attractive smile can have a significant impact on your confidence and self-esteem. Crown lengthening gives you a more harmonious, beautiful smile that you'll feel proud to show off
Patients with a Gummy Smile:
If you feel that your smile shows too much gum tissue, crown lengthening can reduce the amount of gum visible and enhance the overall appearance of your teeth.
Patients Preparing for Restorative Work:
If you’re getting crowns, veneers, or bridges, crown lengthening may be needed to ensure that these restorations fit properly and look natural.
Patients with Uneven Gum Lines:
Crown lengthening can create a more symmetrical gum line, correcting teeth that look too short or uneven due to excess gum tissue.
During your initial consultation, we’ll thoroughly examine your teeth and gums to determine if cosmetic crown lengthening is the right solution for you. We’ll discuss your goals, explain the procedure, and ensure you fully understand the benefits of the treatment.
On the day of your procedure, we’ll use advanced dental technology to gently and precisely remove excess gum tissue, exposing more of your natural tooth structure. This is done with extreme care to ensure a smooth, balanced gum line and minimize discomfort. The entire process is typically performed under local anesthesia, and we offer sedation options for patients who may feel anxious.
After the procedure, your gums will need some time to heal. You may experience some minor swelling or discomfort, but this is typically short-lived and car be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, and we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your healing and ensure that your gums are recovering well. Once your gums have fully healed, the results will be a more balanced, beautiful smile that you can confidently show off
