Crown Lengthening Procedure
Crown lengthening is a dental procedure that reshapes and removes excess gum tissue, bone, or both to expose more of a tooth’s surface. It is often performed to prepare a tooth for restorative treatments like crowns or bridges, or for aesthetic reasons to correct a “gummy smile.
Benefits of Crowns and Bridges
- Enhances the tooth’s appearance and balance in your smile.
- Provides a solid foundation for restorative dental work.
- Improves oral hygiene by reducing excess gum tissue.
- Helps in treating gum disease or decayed areas below the gum line.
At Smiley Dental Clinic, our experienced team ensures that your crown lengthening procedure is precise, comfortable, and tailored to your needs.
