Correcting A Gummy Smile
If you have a “gummy smile” where excessive gum tissue covers your teeth, crown lengthening can expose more of your natural tooth structure for a balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.
Preparing For A Dental Crown
When there isn’t enough visible tooth structure to support a dental crown, crown lengthening helps by exposing more of the tooth, ensuring a secure and stable fit for the crown.
Treating Severe Tooth Decay
Crown lengthening can be essential for removing decayed areas below the gum line, making it easier to clean and restore the tooth effectively.
Restoring A Broken Tooth
If a tooth is broken near the gum line, crown lengthening exposes enough of the tooth to allow for proper restoration and functional use.
Enhancing Oral Hygiene
By reducing excess gum tissue, crown lengthening makes it easier to brush and floss effectively, which helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Â
Addressing Uneven Gums
Uneven gum lines can affect the appearance of your smile. Crown lengthening can sculpt and reshape your gums to create a more symmetrical and attractive appearance.

MORE ABOUT
Is Crown Lengthening Painful?
Crown lengthening is generally not painful, as the procedure is performed under local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure your comfort. During the procedure, you should not feel pain, but you may experience some pressure and movement.
After the anesthesia wears off, it’s normal to experience some discomfort, swelling, and minor bleeding, which can be managed with prescribed pain relievers and over-the-counter medications. Dr. Tran will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help minimize discomfort and promote healing. Most patients find that any post-procedure discomfort subsides within a few days. If you have concerns about pain or recovery, Dr. Tran and the team at Smooth Dental are available to address your questions and provide support throughout the healing process.
