Crown Lengthening or Shortening

Transform the look and length of your teeth with this soft tissue procedure that has a powerful effect on your appearance – giving you greater confidence and a more defined smile.

Aesthetic crown lengthening is a procedure which involves removing tiny amounts of the gum or gingival tissue to expose more of the tooth. It is often a concern for people who either have ‘short’ teeth or a ‘gummy smile’.

We use local anesthetics to numb the affected area or can offer sedation for those patients who require additional support.

This is a delicate procedure which our cosmetic dentists are proud to offer patients seeking a new and improved smile. Advantages include:

• Lengthens the appearance of teeth
• Corrects an uneven gum line
• Enhances your smile
• Is suitable for patients whose teeth may have ‘worn’ down due to grinding or clenching
