"Gummy" Smiles - Improve Your Smile with Periodontal Procedures

Periodontal procedures are available to lay the groundwork for restorative and cosmetic dentistry and/or to improve the esthetics of your gum line.

Crown Lengthening

You may feel your smile appears "gummy" because your teeth appear short. Your teeth may actually be the proper length, but they're covered with too much gum tissue. To correct this, The Dental Group performs crown lengthening. Crown lengthening adjusts the gum and bone levels to expose more of the tooth so it can be restored.

Benefits of crown lengthening Whether you have crown lengthening to improve function or esthetics, patients often receive the benefits of both. A beautiful new smile and improved periodontal health are your keys to smiling, eating and speaking with comfort and confidence.
