Smile Analysis
Your periodontist assesses your tooth proportions, your gumline, and your lip position to determine the ideal final result before any reshaping at all begins.
Do your teeth appear short or uneven? Think of crown lengthening as unveiling your smile's hidden potential. Our periodontists use advanced techniques to reveal more of your natural tooth structure.
Picture your teeth like beautiful paintings partially hidden behind oversized frames. Crown lengthening gently reshapes the gum and bone tissue around your teeth to display more of their natural beauty. Using precise microsurgical techniques, we can create ideal proportions that enhance both your smile's appearance and its function. The result is teeth that look naturally longer and more proportionate, creating harmony right across your smile. The procedure addresses the bone as well as the tissue, which is what makes the result last.
Short Teeth — Your teeth appear short or stubby because gum and bone tissue cover more of the crown than they really should, rather than because they are genuinely small.
Uneven Smile — The gum heights across your smile are uneven, which throws the proportions out whenever you smile widely or when you catch your reflection unexpectedly.
Restoration Needed — A tooth needs a crown or a filling, but there is not enough sound structure exposed above the gumline for the crown or the filling to bond to securely.
Gummy Appearance — Excess tissue makes your smile look gummy, and you want the natural proportions properly restored that were always there underneath the excess tissue.
Here is what you can expect during aesthetic crown lengthening at OC Perio & Implants.
Schedule a ConsultationYour periodontist assesses your tooth proportions, your gumline, and your lip position to determine the ideal final result before any reshaping at all begins.
We plan exactly how much gum and bone will be reshaped, so the outcome is agreed between us before anything begins and you know precisely what to expect.
The area is numbed thoroughly, and sedation options remain available for any patient who feels anxious about the procedure that is about to be carried out.
Precise instruments reshape both the gum tissue and the underlying bone to expose more of your natural tooth structure and to create the proportions we.
We review the healing timeline, and any planned restorations follow once the tissue has fully settled into position and the gumline has stabilized in its.
More of your natural tooth becomes visible, which changes the proportions of your whole smile far more than most patients expect once the excess tissue covering it has been removed.
Precise microsurgical techniques create the balance between teeth and gums that a genuinely harmonious smile actually depends upon between the teeth themselves and the tissue.
The procedure enhances both the appearance and the function of your smile, since exposing sound tooth structure helps restorations fit properly and last considerably longer.
Reshaping the bone as well as the gum tissue is what stops the tissue creeping back and undoing the result a year or two later as so often happens with tissue-only reshaping alone.
Enjoy permanent results that continue to complement your smile.
We make crown lengthening a precise procedure that serves both beauty and function, using microsurgical instruments for quicker healing, reshaping bone as well as gum so the tissue stays in place, and coordinating timing carefully with any crown that follows.

Reshaping the bone as well as the gum tissue is what stops the tissue from creeping back over the exposed structure. That is what makes the correction last.
