Crown Lengthening

Before Photo Picture Gum Shaping Contouring Crown lengthening to reveal more tooth structure can be done for a number of reasons having little to do with esthetics:
  • Subgingival fractures
  • Caries below the gingival margin
  • Restorations requiring replacement below the gingival margin

Improving Gingival Contour - Crown Lengthening

In this case, crown lengthening was indicated to improve a smile that suffered from an irregular gingival contour.

Before the procedure the patient was very self conscious and reluctant to smile.

After Photo  Crown Lengthening Southfield Tissue Reshaping The procedure restored a normal gingival contour. Following final restoration with upper anterior crowns by her general dentist, the patient's self confidence was also restored and she is no longer hesitant to smile.

Other Esthetic Applications

  • Ideal for patients who have crowns that are partially covered by gingival tissue due to incomplete eruption of teeth
  • High lip line that causes a "gummy" smile
  • Exposing more tooth structure for teeth that are too small to allow for proper crowns
