What is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a dental procedure that removes excess gum tissue, bone, or both to expose more of a tooth’s structure. It is often used to address cosmetic concerns like a gummy smile, as well as functional needs such as preparing a tooth for a crown, bridge, or other restorations. CLP creates an optimal balance between the teeth and gums, enhancing both aesthetics and function.
