What is crown lengthening?<\/h2>\n

\"CrownLengthening\"<\/a>Many patients describe a perfect smile as big, bright, and full of teeth. Often they will describe this perfect smile as one with a good tooth-to-gum ratio. A \u201cgummy smile,\u201d in which excessive gum tissue covers too much of the tooth structure, may be considered undesirable to some. Crown lengthening can deliver a fuller smile to those whose teeth are currently hidden behind an abnormally high gum line. Excessive gum tissue is not something you have to deal with for the rest of your life; crown lengthening can produce astonishing results. A corrective, crown lengthening procedure at Scott M. Healey Dentistry can redesign your smile, giving you the confidence you have always wanted.<\/p>\n
