Understanding functional vs. esthetic crown lengthening
Functional crown lengthening
This procedure is performed when a tooth needs additional exposure for restorative purposes, such as placing a crown or filling. By removing excess gum tissue and sometimes adjusting the underlying bone, we create a stable foundation for your dental work.
Esthetic crown lengthening
This treatment focuses on refining the gum line for a more proportional and attractive smile. Often used to correct a “gummy smile,” it enhances overall aesthetics by exposing more of your natural teeth.
During your consultation, Dr. Krishna will determine which approach or combination of both best suits your needs.
