Is crown lengthening only cosmetic?
Not always. It's often used cosmetically to reduce a gummy smile, but it's also frequently necessary to expose enough healthy tooth structure before placing a crown or filling.
Is the procedure painful?
The area is numbed beforehand, so the procedure is comfortable. Some soreness during recovery is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long is recovery?
Most patients heal within one to two weeks, though the gums may continue to settle into their final shape over the following weeks.
Can crown lengthening be done on just one tooth?
Yes, it can be performed on a single tooth or across several, depending on whether your goals are cosmetic, restorative, or both.

What is aesthetic crown lengthening?
Aesthetic crown lengthening reshapes gum and, when needed, bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth, correcting a gummy smile or preparing a tooth for a restoration.
How does it work?
Your dentist carefully removes excess gum tissue, and occasionally a small amount of bone, to reveal more of the tooth's crown, improving both the smile's proportion and, when needed, giving a restoration more surface to bond to.
What are the benefits ?
-
Corrects a gummy smile for better proportion
-
Prepares teeth for crowns or veneers when needed
-
Improves the long-term success of restorative work
-
Creates a more balanced, confident smile
