About Crown Lengthening
and Tissue Re-contouring

This treatment is ideal for individuals where excessive gum tissue covers a portion of the teeth, or for those who desire a more symmetrical and esthetically pleasing gum line. By carefully reshaping the gum tissue, we can reveal more of your natural tooth structure, creating a more proportionate and attractive smile.

This procedure not only provides cosmetic benefits but can also be an essential step in preparing for restorative treatments such as crowns or bridges. By exposing more of the tooth, crown lengthening ensures that there is adequate structure for placing these restorations securely and effectively. Whether you’re improving your smile for cosmetic reasons or undergoing restorative work, this procedure is a crucial component in achieving both beauty and function.

For those seeking to refine their smile, crown lengthening offers a minimally invasive solution that delivers significant esthetic improvements. It can address issues like uneven gum lines, short teeth, or excess gum tissue, creating a balanced, natural look. Additionally, it can play a vital role in oral health by making it easier to maintain clean and healthy gums.

Dr. Nevins performed major gum grafts on both sides of my lower gums.  The results a few months later have been nothing short of amazing.  Both my dentist and dental hygienist could not believe how well the graft took.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Cosmetic Crown Lengthening and
Tissue Re-Contouring

IS THIS PROCEDURE ONLY COSMETIC?

No. While many patients choose this treatment to enhance their smile, it is also commonly recommended for functional reasons, such as preparing teeth for crowns or improving access for proper oral hygiene and long-term gum health.

IS THE PROCEDURE PAINFUL AND HOW LONG IS RECOVERY?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you’ll remain comfortable throughout. Most patients experience mild soreness afterward, with initial healing in about one to two weeks and full healing over several weeks, depending on the extent of treatment.
