What is Crown Lengthening Surgery?
Crown lengthening is a special dental procedure that adjusts the gum and bone levels to expose more of a tooth’s surface. At Senatobia Family Dentistry, we recommend crown lengthening when there isn’t enough visible tooth structure to support a dental restoration like a crown or filling, or when correcting a “gummy” smile for cosmetic enhancement. During the procedure, excess gum tissue and sometimes a small amount of bone is gently removed to reshape the area and reveal more of the natural tooth. This creates the space needed to properly fit a restoration, ensures better oral hygiene access, and enhances the appearance of your smile. Crown lengthening is a safe, routine procedure that can usually be completed in a single visit using local anesthesia. Whether for functional or aesthetic reasons, this treatment helps preserve your tooth, improve your bite, and support long-term dental health. With modern tools and a careful approach, we ensure your comfort while delivering results that look natural and feel comfortable, giving you a healthy smile that lasts.
