Are you looking to improve the appearance of your smile with a more even appearance? One tactic dentists use to achieve this is a procedure called crown lengthening. Crown lengthening can make teeth look longer and can also prepare a tooth for a dental restoration, such as a crown. At Complete Dental Care, we are able to offer our patients crown lengthening procedures in order to help them achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. 

Why Is Crown Lengthening Important?

Crown lengthening is important because it can improve the appearance of your smile and also make it easier to keep your teeth clean. When you have a more even gum line, it is easier to brush and floss your teeth effectively. This can help to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Crown lengthening can also help to prepare your tooth for a dental restoration or other treatment.
