What is crown lengthening?
Why Crown Lengthening Is Essential For Restorations
Crown lengthening is a specialized procedure that gives your restoring dentist the ability to deliver high-quality, long-lasting crowns or other restorations. Teeth needing crowns often present challenges, such as being too short to properly retain the crown or having deep decay that extends beneath the gum line. Without addressing these issues, restorations may fail, leaving you with ongoing dental frustrations.
This procedure is especially beneficial for patients facing challenges with dental restorations. Teeth that are too short or have decay below the gumline can make it difficult to properly secure crowns or other restorations. By exposing more of the tooth structure, this procedure allows for a more secure fit and a natural appearance while reducing the risk of gum damage, inflammation, and future complications such as gum disease.
When there’s excess gum or bone, teeth can appear too small, and crowns may not securely fit, often causing them to fall off. Additionally, cavities or cracks that extend below the gumline make it difficult to restore the tooth without harming the gums. This can lead to inflamed or irritated gums, bone loss, or even gum disease like periodontitis, increasing the risk of tooth loss.

A Healthier, More Natural, Cosmetic Result That Will Last A Lifetime
A crown lengthening procedure resolves these problems by reshaping the gums and underlying bone. This process exposes more of the tooth structure, providing better support for restorative dental work such as crowns or fillings. With a longer, properly prepared tooth surface, your dentist gains the ability to craft crowns that fit securely and look natural.
For cases with cavities or damage below the gum line, this procedure provides access to these hard-to-reach areas, ensuring they can be restored without affecting gum health. This reduces the risk of gum damage, inflammation, or complications like gum disease. The result is a restoration that not only lasts longer but also improves overall oral health and aesthetics.
What to Expect During the Procedure
A Guide To Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening is a straightforward and efficient procedure that typically takes about an hour. Performed under local anesthesia, the process is similar to getting a dental filling in terms of comfort.
Recovery is usually quick, allowing you to return to your daily life with minimal downtime. After the gums and bone are reshaped, your restoring dentist gains the precision and space needed to create crowns or restorations with a secure fit and natural appearance. This results in a healthier, more attractive smile that stands the test of time.
