Gum reshaping
Quite often teeth can appear to be too short but are simply covered up by your gums. Reshaping your gums during a crown lengthening treatment will expose the correct amount of the tooth and can create a more pleasing cosmetic effect, and in some instances may help improve gum health.
We plan this kind of treatment very carefully in order to create a good aesthetic effect especially if your gum line is not symmetrical. You might also benefit from crown lengthening if a tooth is broken right near the gum line, as exposing a little more of the tooth will make it possible for us to place a dental crown, protecting and restoring this tooth.
