Sometimes your gums cover too much of your teeth, creating what many people call a “gummy” smile. In other cases, excess gum tissue can make it difficult to place a crown or properly restore a damaged tooth. At Sierra Nevade Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, we offer crown lengthening in Reno, NV, to reshape the gumline, improve oral health, and create a more balanced smile.
Crown lengthening gently reshapes gum tissue to expose more of the natural tooth structure. This gum reshaping procedure can improve smile aesthetics, create the proper foundation for restorative dental treatment, or help to treat gum disease.
Many people choose cosmetic crown lengthening to improve the appearance of their smile. By revealing more of the natural tooth structure, this treatment creates a more balanced, proportionate look.
Because crown lengthening involves changes to the gums and underlying bone structure, it’s critical to choose a qualified periodontal expert who can deliver proven results while protecting your long-term oral health.
A carefully performed gum reshaping procedure can improve both function and aesthetics. Done right, it can help you enjoy a healthier gumline and a more confident smile after treatment.
Your visit begins with a detailed evaluation of your teeth, gums, and smile goals. Our team determines how much tissue to reshape to achieve the best result without compromising the long-term stability of your smile. This careful planning ensures your crown lengthening procedure improves both appearance and oral health.
During the procedure, your doctor will gently reshape the gum tissue to expose more of the natural tooth. Local anesthetic and other comfort measures help ensure you remain relaxed throughout treatment. Our team focuses on precision and careful tissue management to create natural-looking results.
After treatment, the gums begin to heal and settle into their new position. As healing progresses, your smile appears more balanced, and the teeth become more visible. If the procedure supports restorative care, your dentist can proceed with other treatments once healing is completed.
Our experienced periodontal team performs crown lengthening procedures with precision and a strong focus on patient comfort. We combine advanced technology with extensive clinical expertise to deliver predictable results.
At Sierra Nevada Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, we offer financing options to put exceptional care within reach for every smile. Patients throughout Reno, NV, trust our team for our commitment to quality care and track record of successful outcomes.
