Reveal More of Your Natural Tooth
Is your tooth hiding beneath too much gum tissue? Whether you’re preparing for a dental restoration or simply want a more balanced smile, crown lengthening in Downtown Los Angeles, CA, can help reveal more of your natural tooth structure. At Perio Implant Health Professionals,

Crown lengthening is a periodontal procedure that removes excess gum tissue and sometimes bone to expose more of your tooth’s surface. This treatment creates the foundation needed for restorations like crowns or bridges while also improving the overall appearance of your smile. Dr. Rodriguez performs this procedure with careful attention to both function and aesthetics, ensuring optimal results for each patient.

Crown lengthening becomes necessary when there isn’t enough tooth structure visible above the gumline to place a restoration.
Here is what to expect, one step at a time.

Some teeth don’t have enough visible structure to support a crown or filling. Crown lengthening exposes the tooth surface needed for secure, long-lasting dental work.
Excessive gum tissue can make teeth appear short or uneven. This procedure reveals more of your natural teeth for a balanced, confident smile.
