Crown Lengthening

Enhance Your Smile and Oral Health with Crown Lengthening at Allure Clinic

Do You Have a “Gummy” Smile or Teeth That Are Too Short? Crown Lengthening Can Help!
Crown lengthening is a specialized dental procedure that reshapes the gum tissue and sometimes the underlying bone to expose more of the tooth’s surface. This treatment improves the appearance of your smile, facilitates restorative dental work, and promotes better oral health. At Allure Clinic, our expert dental surgeons use advanced techniques to perform crown lengthening safely and comfortably, helping you achieve a balanced, healthy smile.

What Is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening involves the surgical removal or repositioning of gum tissue, and occasionally bone, to expose more of the natural tooth structure. This procedure is often necessary when teeth are broken, decayed below the gum line, or when there is insufficient tooth height for placing crowns or other restorations.

At Allure Clinic, we use precise, minimally invasive surgical methods to ensure optimal outcomes with minimal discomfort and faster healing.

When Is Crown Lengthening Recommended?

Crown lengthening may be recommended if you have:

  • Teeth that appear too short or “gummy” due to excessive gum tissue

  • Tooth decay or fractures extending below the gum line that require restoration

  • Insufficient tooth structure to support crowns, bridges, or veneers

  • Need to improve the aesthetics of your smile by correcting uneven gum lines

  • Preparation for restorative or cosmetic dental procedures

  • Periodontal pockets that need reduction to improve gum health

  • Teeth that are broken or worn down, making restoration difficult without exposing more tooth

Our dental specialists will evaluate your oral condition and recommend crown lengthening if it will enhance your dental health or smile aesthetics.
