What Does Crown Lengthening Treat?
Crown lengthening may be recommended to address:
- A ‘gummy’ smile
- Teeth that appear short or uneven
- Broken or damaged teeth below the gumline
- Insufficient tooth structure for a dental crown
- Deep decay extending beneath the gums
- Improving access for restorative treatment
How The Treatment Works
The SDA Process
Consultation & Digital Assessment
Your treatment begins with a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and supporting structures. Digital imaging and clinical measurements help us determine how much tissue needs to be adjusted and whether the procedure is being performed for restorative, cosmetic, or combined purposes.
Personalized Treatment Planning
A bespoke treatment plan is created to achieve the ideal balance between function and aesthetics. Careful planning ensures the gumline remains symmetrical while providing sufficient healthy tooth structure for any future restorative work.
Precision Tissue Contouring
Under local anesthesia, the gum tissue is carefully reshaped and, where clinically necessary, a small amount of supporting bone is adjusted to expose more of the natural tooth. We use diode laser technology and advanced periodontal instruments to carefully reshape gum tissue with precision and control.
Healing & Restoration Planning
As the gums heal, they settle into their new position, creating a healthier and more stable foundation. If crown lengthening has been performed to facilitate restorative treatment, your final crown or restoration can then be completed at the appropriate stage of healing.
Many of our surgical treatments can be performed under moderate conscious sedation to maximize comfort and reduce treatment anxiety. Sedation is administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, allowing patients to feel relaxed throughout more complex procedures.

Frequently asked questions
While crown lengthening can be used to help improve the appearance of a gummy smile (in certain cases), it is often performed to prepare a tooth for restorative treatment.
The treatment is carried out under local anesthesia, and most patients experience only mild discomfort during the healing period.
Initial healing usually occurs within one to two weeks, although complete tissue maturation may take longer depending on the treatment performed.
By exposing more healthy tooth structure, the procedure can allow a crown or other restoration to be placed successfully.
The gums will heal and stabilize in their new position, and with good oral hygiene and ongoing care, the results are designed to be long-lasting.
Many of our surgical and more complex procedures can be carried out under moderate conscious sedation, helping you feel calm and comfortable throughout treatment. Sedation is provided by a board-certified anesthesiologist, allowing us to offer a high level of care for patients who may feel anxious or are undergoing more involved procedures.
