Sculpting Symmetrical Gum Contours to Unveil the Natural Beauty of Your Smile
Do your teeth look short, uneven, or boxy when you smile? Does your upper lip reveal too much pink gum tissue? Esthetic Crown Lengthening is a specialized periodontal plastic surgery procedure that reshapes the gum tissue and underlying crestal bone to expose the natural, attractive crown structure hidden underneath.
Unlike simple laser gum trimming—which often results in gum tissue creeping back down over time—esthetic crown lengthening delicately modifies both the soft tissue and the micro-bone contour. This ensures that your new, elongated tooth appearance and harmonious gum architecture remain stable for life.
At Main Line Dental Arts, our board-certified periodontists utilize digital smile design metrics to create natural golden-proportion teeth that elevate your smile with stunning symmetry.
You may benefit from this treatment if you experience any of the following:
We evaluate your lip curvature, facial midline, and tooth width-to-length ratios to design the ideal cosmetic gum architecture.
The front smile zone is completely anesthetized, ensuring you experience zero pain or discomfort throughout the appointment.
The excess gum margin is sculpted to its ideal height, and the bone level is micro-adjusted to preserve the 3mm biological width.
Gums are secured with fine micro-sutures. Swelling is minimal, and the new beautiful tooth contours are immediately visible.
Adjusting bone architecture ensures gums will never grow back or relapse.
Restores the classic aesthetic ratio where front teeth are naturally taller than wide.
Provides your cosmetic dentist with ideal symmetrical frames for veneers or bonding.
Smile, laugh, and pose for photos freely without feeling self-conscious about excess gums.
Practical instructions to ensure an anxiety-free visit and smooth, rapid healing.
What to expect from your initial specialist consultation through complete recovery.
Comprehensive 6-point periodontal charting per tooth to assess pocket depths and bone loss stages.
Deep ultrasonic debridement, scaling, root planing, and therapeutic antimicrobial decontamination.
Follow-up check 4 to 6 weeks later to measure pocket depth reduction and gum reattachment.
Personalized 3-month periodontal maintenance cleanings to keep infection in permanent remission.
Periodontists undergo 3 additional years of accredited university surgical residency beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on jawbone biology, tissue regeneration, and micro-precision implant placement. We partner closely with your family dentist to deliver lasting clinical excellence.
Our board-certified periodontists, Dr. Borguet, Dr. Hodgson, and Dr. Susanin, are here to help restore your oral health with compassionate, personalized care.
