Crown Lengthening in Cedar Park, TX

Crown lengthening is a procedure that adjusts the gumline—sometimes along with the underlying bone—to expose more of the natural tooth. It’s commonly recommended when a tooth is broken below the gumline, when there isn’t enough tooth structure for a secure crown, or when patients want to improve the look of a “gummy” smile.

Our office is conveniently located at 12920 W Parmer Ln STE 101 in Cedar Park, making it easy to access care from Leander, Brushy Creek, Avery Ranch, Lakeline, Anderson Mill, Jollyville, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Northwest Austin.

What Is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a dental procedure that exposes more of a tooth by gently reshaping:

This creates the space needed to restore the tooth properly and helps ensure restorations (like crowns) fit and function predictably.

Why Crown Lengthening Is Done

Crown lengthening is typically performed for restorative reasons, cosmetic reasons, or both.

Restorative Crown Lengthening

You may need crown lengthening if:

By exposing more tooth structure, crown lengthening can help your dentist place a crown or restoration with a better fit and seal—reducing future leakage or fracture risk.

Cosmetic Crown Lengthening (“Gummy Smile” Adjustment)

Some patients have teeth that look short because the gumline covers more of the tooth than expected. Cosmetic crown lengthening can help:

What to Expect During Crown Lengthening

1) Evaluation and Planning

We evaluate your gumline, tooth structure, and your restoration goals. If crown lengthening is for restorative reasons, we coordinate with the plan for the crown or filling.

2) The Procedure

The gum tissue is adjusted to expose the needed tooth structure. In some cases, a small amount of bone may be reshaped to create stable, healthy spacing for the restoration.

3) Healing and Next Steps

After the procedure, healing time is important—especially when crown lengthening supports a new crown. We’ll give you clear guidance on timeline and what happens next in your treatment plan.

Healing and Recovery

Most patients experience mild tenderness and swelling for a short period. Aftercare typically includes:

Healing time can vary depending on how much tissue was adjusted and whether the procedure is restorative or cosmetic. We’ll outline what to expect for your specific case.

Crown Lengthening vs. Gum Contouring

These terms can sound similar, but they’re not always the same:

Your exam will determine which approach fits your goals.
