What is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a gum treatment with both functional and aesthetic purposes. It’s often recommended for correcting a “gummy smile,” where teeth appear short due to excessive gum tissue. This excess gum may make the teeth look covered or too small, though they are typically of normal length and shape.


Benefits of Crown Lengthening in Georgetown, DC

  • Aesthetic Improvement: By removing a small amount of gum tissue, more of the tooth structure is revealed, enhancing the appearance of your smile. This usually requires just one visit.

  • Functional Enhancement: Crown lengthening can also facilitate restorative or cosmetic dental treatments. If a tooth is broken below or near the gumline, or if there is insufficient tooth structure for a restoration, crown lengthening can expose more of the tooth, allowing for successful placement of crowns or bridges.
