Sometimes a tooth needs a little more support above the gumline to stay healthy and strong. That’s where crown lengthening can help.
Crown lengthening is a periodontal procedure that gently reshapes the gum and sometimes bone around a tooth to expose more of the natural tooth structure. This can be done for functional reasons, like preparing a tooth for a crown or restoration, or for cosmetic reasons to improve the balance of a “gummy” smile.
By creating the right amount of visible tooth structure, this procedure helps dentists place restorations securely while also improving the overall appearance of the smile.
At Bellaire Periodontics, procedures like crown lengthening help ensure both oral health and long-lasting dental results.
✨ A healthy smile starts with the right foundation.
