What is esthetic crown lengthening?

Esthetic crown lengthening is a procedure used to uncover more of the tooth when teeth appear very short detracting from your smile or when you have a gummy smile. It creates the optimal tooth length for a beautiful smile and establishes the proper relationship for the gumline on each of your front teeth. Esthetic Crown Lengthening may be indicated if new restorations are planned on the teeth visible in your smile, or if you just want to have the optimal tooth proportions on the teeth you see when you smile.
