Esthetic Crown Lengthening

Many times your smile is the first thing people notice about you.  If your teeth appear small when smiling, it can look unattractive.  This is known as a "gummy" smile.  An uneven gum line can also be distracting.  In many cases multiple-tooth crown lengthening can be done to give your teeth a longer and more attractive appearance.

Procedure: The periodontist administers a local anesthetic and gently re-contours excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of your natural teeth.
