What is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a periodontal procedure that removes excess gum tissue and sometimes bone to expose more of the tooth’s surface. This treatment creates longer-appearing teeth, improves smile proportions, and can also prepare teeth for restorative procedures like crowns or fillings by providing adequate tooth structure.
