Cosmetic Crown Lengthening in Beverly, MA
Cosmetic crown lengthening reshapes a gummy smile by exposing more of the tooth.
In a single visit, our periodontist lifts the gum line and trims the excess tissue and bone that hides healthy tooth structure.
The result is a balanced smile, and in many cases it removes the need for veneers altogether.
When Crown Lengthening Helps
Some smiles show too much gum and too little tooth, which makes healthy teeth look small or uneven. Crown lengthening corrects the proportion by removing the excess tissue that covers them.
The procedure suits you if too much gum shows when you talk or smile, if your teeth look short or small behind a heavy gum line, or if you are preparing for porcelain veneers and need more tooth exposed first.
Our in-house periodontist performs the procedure in one visit, with a single follow-up to check healing.
