Crown Lengthening
When getting a crown, your dentist must prepare your tooth to receive the crown. Sometimes there is not enough tooth surface above the gumline to accomplish this. A periodontist can do crown lengthening to provide more tooth surface. This ensures a more stable crown with less gum irritation. Also, if you have a "gummy" smile or an uneven gum line, crown lengthening can make your teeth look longer and more even.
