Crown lengthening

Periodontists also perform crown lengthening as a cosmetic procedure. Crown lengthening is aimed at making your smile more attractive by increasing the length of the crown on the front teeth. To do this, our periodontist will have to remove some of the gum from the bottom of the tooth to reveal more of the tooth making it appear longer. This procedure is not usually long and can take a single session depending on the number of teeth that you want to be lengthened.
