Crown lengthening is a procedure that exposes healthier tooth structure by adjusting the gum line. It can be used for cosmetic or restorative purposes. Our expert in crown lengthening in Beverly Hills can help you decide if it is right for you.
Cosmetic crown lengthening can be performed to reduce excess gum tissue and improve the appearance of a gummy smile. Gummy smiles can be associated with a number of factors, and a crown lengthening procedure is just one option. It can be combined with other treatments, such as teeth whitening or porcelain veneers, to create an aesthetically appealing smile.
A crown lengthening procedure may also be needed if you have a tooth that has broken near the gum line or that has decay near or on the root. In this procedure, the gum tissue is adjusted so that we can better access the area of decay or damage. Once the decay is removed, a filling will be used to restore the tooth. If the tooth was broken, a porcelain crown may be used instead.
