Dr. Joe Medellin may recommend crown lengthening to improve the health and appearance of your gums. This periodontal surgery is often provided to correct “gummy” smiles or to assist in a restorative or cosmetic treatment. Contact OrthoGrace Dental at 818-280-5596 to make an appointment with our dentist and learn if crown lengthening in Northridge, California, is right for you!

Crown lengthening is a versatile gum treatment that serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. If you find yourself self-conscious about a “gummy smile,” where excessive gum tissue makes your teeth appear abnormally short, crown lengthening may be the solution for you. This treatment focuses on removing a small amount of gum tissue to reveal more of your tooth structure, enhancing the aesthetic appearance of your smile. In just one visit to our office, our skilled dentist can help you achieve a smile you can proudly show off.

Moreover, crown lengthening can also be recommended to facilitate restorative or cosmetic dental procedures. In cases where a tooth is broken below or very close to the gumline, or when there is insufficient tooth structure for a restoration like a crown or bridge, crown lengthening can be utilized. By exposing more of the tooth structure, it enables our experienced dentist and team to place the necessary restorations effectively.
