Esthetic Crown lengthening is a dental procedure that reshapes the gum tissue and bone to expose more of the tooth structure. It’s commonly done to improve aesthetics, especially for those with a “gummy” smile, or to prepare a tooth for a restoration, like a crown.
The procedure adjusts the gum line, allowing for a more balanced and attractive smile while ensuring proper tooth function and health.

The procedure adjusts the gum line, allowing for a more balanced and attractive smile while ensuring proper tooth function and health.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the treatment. Some mild discomfort may occur afterward, but it’s manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Recovery usually takes about 1-2 weeks, during which you should follow your dentist’s care instructions for optimal healing.
Yes, crown lengthening results are permanent, as the gum and bone won’t regrow to cover the exposed tooth.
