Aesthetic Crown Lengthening

When you smile, do you notice that your teeth appear to be disproportionate to your gums? In other words, does it look like your smile is too “gummy”? The problem may not be your teeth at all, but an excessive amount of gum tissue that is preventing your true smile from shining through.

An overly gummy smile is usually caused either by genetic disposition, chronic inflammation, certain medications, atypical jaw growth or crooked teeth. Aesthetic crown lengthening in Roseville, CA is a very predictable way to expose hidden tooth structure for a radiant smile for our patients.

By adjusting the soft tissue profile and the supporting bone structure around your tooth, our periodontal specialists can surgically extend the length of any tooth within your mouth to create the proper gum-to-tooth ratio.

All it takes is a few hours to restore the proper balance between your gums and your teeth. If you’ve lived too long with excessive gum tissue, we invite you to call our office for a consultation.
