Do you feel like your teeth look too small when you smile, or does it seem like you have more gum showing than you'd like?

 If you're self-conscious about your "gummy smile," you're not alone. In many cases, the teeth may be the correct size, but an excess of gum tissue can create the illusion of short teeth. If you're looking to reveal a more natural, balanced smile, an Aesthetic Clinical Crown Lengthening procedure could be the solution. Dr. Romano uses advanced Diode Laser technology to precisely remove excess gum tissue, giving you a more confident, fuller smile by exposing the hidden portion of your teeth.

The crown lengthening procedure reshapes both the gum and, in some cases, bone tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth. 

Whether it's for one tooth or several, this procedure can enhance your smile by removing the tissue that hides your tooth structure. By carefully revealing more of your teeth, Dr. Romano can help you achieve a smile that looks proportionate and harmonious. Not only will you enjoy an improved appearance, but you'll also benefit from the ease of maintaining better oral hygiene and avoiding potential issues that can arise from excess gum coverage.

Beyond aesthetic improvement, crown lengthening is often a necessary step before restorative or cosmetic dental procedures. If a tooth is decayed, broken beneath the gum line, or lacks enough healthy structure for a crown or bridge, crown lengthening can prepare it for a proper restoration. By adjusting the gum and bone level, this procedure ensures that the tooth is exposed and ready for treatment. Additionally, excess gum tissue can trap bacteria, increasing the risk of gum disease and decay. By addressing this, Dr. Romano not only enhances your smile but also helps improve your long-term oral health.
