Crown lengthening is a procedure performed by a periodontist to remove excess gum and/or bone tissue from around a tooth to expose more of its surface. Sometimes, it’s needed so a dentist can access and treat tooth decay under the gumline; if you have excess gum tissue that shows when you smile (“gummy” smile), crown lengthening can also improve your smile’s aesthetics.
