How can we brighten your smile?

Crown Lengthening

Skokie, IL Dentist

Crown lengthening treatment removes excess gum tissue from around one or more of your teeth, exposing additional tooth structure above your gum line. Skokie dentist, Dr. Schmidt may recommend this if you have a “gummy” smile or to provide better access to correct issues with decayed or broken teeth or infected gums.

During treatment, your gums are moved away from your tooth and jawbone. The bone will be smoothed, if needed, prior to reattaching the gums lower on the teeth. With more tooth structure showing above the gum line, your teeth now appear longer and your gums less prominent.
