Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the gum tissue and, if necessary, the underlying bone around one or more of your teeth. The goal of this treatment is to expose more of the tooth’s surface. Sometimes, not enough of the tooth sticks out above the gum to support a crown or filling. This procedure exposes more of the tooth, allowing us to securely anchor new restorations, which enhances their durability and stability.
We begin with a detailed consultation, where our dentist and team discuss your aesthetic goals or restorative needs. Our skilled dental team uses state-of-the-art technology to carefully plan the procedure, ensuring precision and comfort. During the procedure, we gently reshape the excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of the tooth underneath. This surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, which means you will be awake but will not feel any pain in the area we are treating.
At Optima Dental Care, Dr. Scott Johnson and our team are committed to providing treatments that meet your specific needs and enhance your overall health and well-being. Crown lengthening is just one of the many advanced dental procedures we offer to help you achieve the best possible results for your smile and dental health.
