Enhance Your Smile with Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening is a procedure that reshapes the gum tissue and bone around a tooth to expose more of the tooth’s surface. This treatment is often used to prepare a tooth for a crown or other restoration by creating a stable base. It can also improve the appearance of a “gummy” smile by balancing the gum-to-tooth ratio, revealing more of your natural tooth structure. At El Paso Family Dental, our team performs crown lengthening with precision, enhancing both function and aesthetics for a healthier, more attractive smile.
Who Can Benefit from Crown Lengthening?
Crown lengthening is ideal for patients who need more tooth exposure to support a restoration, such as a crown, or who wish to reduce excessive gum coverage for cosmetic reasons. It’s commonly recommended for those with fractured or decayed teeth near the gum line, as it provides the necessary foundation for durable restorations. Patients looking to enhance their smile’s symmetry may also benefit from this treatment, as it creates a more proportionate look.
