Crown Lengthening Montgomery, NJ

A beautiful smile is about more than just teeth – it also depends on the shape and health of the gums. Excess gum tissue can make teeth appear shorter, create an uneven gumline or interfere with dental treatments. Our dentists and team offer crown lengthening in Montgomery, New Jersey, to enhance your smile and improve oral health by reshaping the gumline.

Is Crown Lengthening Right for You?

Crown lengthening is a procedure that removes excess gum tissue to expose more of the natural tooth structure. This treatment may be recommended for:

• A Gummy Smile: If your teeth appear short due to excessive gum coverage, crown lengthening can create a more balanced look.
• Tooth Restoration: If a tooth is damaged or decayed near the gumline, exposing more of the tooth allows for a more secure filling or crown.
• Better Oral Hygiene: Excess gum tissue can trap bacteria, making cleaning difficult and increasing the risk of gum disease.

We evaluate each patient’s needs to determine if crown lengthening is the best option for improving function and aesthetics.

Why Choose Crown Lengthening?

This procedure offers several benefits for both oral health and smile appearance, including:

• Creates a more proportionate and attractive smile
• Makes brushing and flossing more effective
• Provides a stronger foundation for restorations
• Reduces gum irritation and sensitivity
• Delivers permanent, long-lasting results

What to Expect During the Procedure

Crown lengthening is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. We carefully remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gumline, revealing more of the natural tooth. Some mild swelling or sensitivity may occur after the procedure, but healing is typically quick with proper care.
