What Is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a dental procedure designed to reveal more of your tooth structure by removing or reshaping excess gum tissue to improve the appearance of your smile. This procedure can also be done to prepare for dental restorations such as dental crowns or veneers if there is too much gum tissue to allow a secure bond to the tooth.

Laser Crown Lengthening Services at Dental Arts

At Dental Arts, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to perform crown lengthening procedures. Our lasers work with both hard and soft tissue to give you the smile you’ve always wanted. By using a laser, we can give you a more comfortable experience and faster recovery times compared to traditional methods. 


Benefits of Laser Crown Lengthening


  • Increased precision – Laser technology allows our dentists to perform your crown lengthening with increased accuracy and precision to ensure we only target the desired treatment area. 


  • Minimal discomfort – Many patients prefer laser dentistry because this treatment method is more comfortable and causes less pain and swelling than traditional dental tools. 


  • Faster recovery – By using a laser, your gums experience less trauma which means a faster healing process and less bleeding. This means you’ll be able to enjoy the results of your crown lengthening sooner.


  • Improved results  – Laser precision ensures our dentists can give you the results you desire for a beautiful and healthy smile. 


Why Would I Need a Crown Lengthening Procedure?

There are several common reasons why you might need or want a crown lengthening procedure. Our team might recommend one if you are experiencing any of the conditions listed below.

  • Insufficient Tooth Structure

    Crown lengthening may be necessary to expose more of the natural tooth structure or underlying bone and provide a strong foundation for the placement of dental crowns or other restorative treatments to repair your smile.


  • Gummy Smile

    If you have excess gum tissue that makes your teeth appear shorter, you might want dental crown lengthening to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.


  • Veneer Placement

    Crown lengthening is sometimes done to expose more of the tooth’s surface so that dental veneers can properly bond to the tooth. 


  • Difficulty Cleaning Teeth

    By reshaping the gum line to reveal more of your tooth, it becomes easier to keep your teeth cleaned and healthy. This reduces your risk of developing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems. 


Benefits of Crown Lengthening

Wondering why a dental crown lengthening might be right for you? Consider these key benefits:


  • Improved smile – Crown lengthening reveals more of your natural tooth structure to improve the proportions of your smile.


  • Better oral health – This procedure can make it easier to maintain an optimal oral hygiene routine to reduce the risk of plaque and bacteria buildup.


  • Improved confidence – If you’ve been self-conscious about your smile, a crown lengthening procedure can give you the confidence boost you’ve been looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crown Lengthening

Here are some answers to common questions many patients have about crown lengthening procedures:

  • Is crown lengthening painful?

    This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. And with our laser dentistry tools, you can experience much less discomfort and swelling from your crown lengthening. 

  • How long does a crown lengthening procedure take?

    A crown lengthening procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour depending on the amount of gum tissue being repaired. After your consultation, our dentists will be able to give you a more precise estimate for how long your procedure will take. 


  • Will I be able to eat normally after a crown lengthening?

    Most patients can resume their normal diet relatively quickly after this procedure, though you may prefer to stick with softer foods for the first few days for your own comfort.


  • How long does the recovery take after crown lengthening?

    Many patients experience significant improvement within a week, though your recovery time may vary. Our team will give you instructions to follow after your procedure to ensure you can recover quickly. 


  • Can crown lengthening be done for cosmetic reasons only?

    Yes, you can get a crown lengthening procedure to address cosmetic concerns. It is often done for patients who have a “gummy smile” who want to feel more confident and attractive. 

  • Will my gum line grow back after crown lengthening?

    Gum tissue does not repair in the same way as some body tissues, so they will not grow back. But the remaining healthy tissue will heal and improve the overall appearance of your smile.
