Crown lengthening is a periodontal procedure used to expose more of a tooth’s surface for restorative or cosmetic needs. Why is it recommended? It is often advised when a tooth is damaged below the gum line or when excess gum tissue interferes with crown placement. How does it help? By carefully reshaping the gum and sometimes the underlying bone, Crown Lengthening improves access for restorations, supports long-term dental health, and maintains balanced gum contours. Can it improve appearance? Yes, it may also enhance smile proportions. For professional guidance, consider Periodontal and Dental Implant Specialists.
