Crown lengthening is a specialized procedure designed to reshape gum tissue and expose more of the natural tooth structure. At Euro Dental Studio, our periodontists and team provide crown lengthening in Ridgewood and Greenpoint, New York, to improve both the health and appearance of your smile. Whether you need it for restorative purposes or cosmetic reasons, this treatment offers lasting benefits.
This precise procedure helps create the right foundation for crowns or other dental work and can also improve a “gummy” smile by rebalancing the ratio of gum to tooth. It is a valuable option for patients who want to enhance both their function and aesthetics.
Why Crown Lengthening May Be Needed
Our periodontists and team recommend crown lengthening for several reasons. It may be necessary when there is not enough exposed tooth surface for a dental restoration to attach securely, or it may be done to improve symmetry in the smile. Benefits of crown lengthening in Ridgewood and Greenpoint, New York, include:
- Exposes more tooth structure for crowns or fillings
- Corrects a gummy smile for improved aesthetics
- Improves oral hygiene access around the gumline
- Supports long-term restoration stability
- Creates a more balanced and attractive smile
This treatment is tailored to each patient, and our periodontists will ensure your comfort and safety throughout the process.
What To Expect From the Procedure
During your consultation, our periodontists will evaluate your oral health and determine the amount of gum tissue to be reshaped. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and in some cases, small amounts of bone may also be adjusted for optimal results.
Healing times vary, but most patients resume normal activities within a few days. As you heal, your teeth will appear longer and more proportionate. We provide thorough post-treatment instructions and are available to support you during your recovery.
Crown lengthening is a conservative and effective way to restore oral health and enhance your smile’s natural beauty. It also helps ensure that crowns and other restorations are placed properly, improving longevity and overall success.
