Gum Line Corrections

Do you feel like you have a “gummy” smile? In other words, are your teeth covered by excess gum tissue? We at Ressler, Hirschl & Lelchuk, DDS, PA are committed to helping our patients feel confident and happy with their smiles. We are excited to offer crown lengthening to bring out the fullness of your teeth!

The crown lengthening procedure involves reshaping your gum line as well as the bone around the affected tooth or teeth, creating a more balanced gum to tooth ratio. The great thing about crown lengthening is that it can be performed on as many or as little affected teeth there are in the patient’s mouth. One tooth with excess gum tissue can be reshaped or a whole gum line can be reshaped, depending on the patient.

In addition to your smile becoming more aesthetically pleasing, crown lengthening also improves the overall health of your gums. The edge of the restoration is sturdy enough to withstand brushing and flossing to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

Gum Line Corrections

A gum line correction, which you may have heard called crown lengthening, is a fancy way of saying sculpting the gum line.  During this procedure, a dentist removes excess gum tissue to expose more tooth.  Drs. Ressler, Hirschl, and Lelchuk perform this procedure for patients looking for a cosmetic solution and patients needing dental restorations. 

We see many patients who are unhappy with the overall appearance of their smile, and patients with a gummy smile often ask what can be done to achieve the look they want.  We are happy to offer gum line correction so that any patient can have their perfect smile.  Gum line corrections are also performed when patients receiving dental restorations need a better surface for the crown or other restoration to attach to.  Eliminating excess gum tissue allows the restoration to be fit over the tooth
