Expert Crown Lengthening Treatment

Our crown lengthening procedure at Elite Prosthetic Dentistry serves aesthetic and functional purposes. While many seek treatment for cosmetic reasons, addressing a gummy smile promotes oral health by reducing the risk of decay and infection due to excess gum tissue harboring plaque.

Our experienced prosthodontist, Dr. Marlin, carefully assesses your condition, considering functional and aesthetic aspects in treatment planning. Precisely mapping out the natural height of each tooth and surrounding gum tissue, we ensure a balanced smile with the right tooth-to-gum ratio. With our expertise, you can enjoy the benefits of your enhanced smile for years!
