Dental Crown Lengthening for Improved Aesthetics and Function
What Is Crown Lengthening?
Dentist Columbus
Crown lengthening surgery is a dental procedure that involves reshaping the gum tissue or bone around a tooth to expose more of the tooth’s surface. This surgery is commonly performed when a tooth is decayed or fractured below the gumline and cannot be adequately restored with a crown. By removing excess gum tissue or bone, crown lengthening ensures there is enough healthy tooth structure exposed for a proper restoration.
This procedure can also be used for cosmetic purposes, such as improving the appearance of a “gummy” smile where excessive gum tissue covers the teeth. Crown lengthening surgery is often performed in cases where a restoration is necessary, but the tooth needs additional support to ensure a secure fit. It can be a vital step in restoring both the function and aesthetics of your smile.

1
Restores Function for Tooth Restorations
Crown lengthening creates sufficient exposed tooth structure for proper crown placement, ensuring your tooth can be effectively restored and function properly.
2
Enhances Smile Aesthetics
For patients with a “gummy” smile, crown lengthening can improve the appearance by reshaping the gums and revealing more of the tooth, resulting in a more balanced, attractive smile.
3
Prevents Further Tooth Damage
This procedure helps to prevent the need for future extractions by ensuring that the tooth can be restored and preserved with a crown, reducing the risk of further damage or complications.
