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.

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.
Crown lengthening is typically performed for restorative reasons, cosmetic reasons, or both.
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.
Some patients have teeth that look short because the gumline covers more of the tooth than expected. Cosmetic crown lengthening can help:
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.
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.
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.
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.
These terms can sound similar, but they’re not always the same:
Your exam will determine which approach fits your goals.
We focus on creating the space needed for restorations to fit well and last.
You’ll know why the procedure is recommended, what the healing timeline looks like, and how it supports your final result.
We accept most major PPO and HMO plans. If crown lengthening is medically necessary for a restoration, insurance may apply. We also offer financing options for qualifying patients.
