Transform Your Smile with Crown Lengthening

A confident smile starts with balance. At NY Implant Dentistry, our crown lengthening treatment gently reshapes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth and create a more even, attractive smile. If you struggle with a “gummy smile” or uneven gum line, this simple procedure can make a dramatic difference—often in just one visit.

Beyond aesthetics, crown lengthening also supports restorative care. When a tooth breaks near the gum line or doesn’t have enough structure for a crown or bridge, our skilled periodontists can adjust the gums (and sometimes bone) to provide the strong foundation needed for long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

A. At NY Implant Dentistry, our experienced periodontists are committed to helping you achieve a healthy, natural-looking smile with confidence. Led by Dr. Greg R. Diamond and Dr. Natalie Yam , we provide advanced care to enhance both the beauty and function of your teeth.

A. Insurance coverage and out-of-pocket expenses for cosmetic treatment vary. Our practice will work with you to provide several different treatment options, and we will coordinate with your insurance provider, if coverage is available. You will know all of your treatment costs up-front so that you can choose the best payment plan for your needs and your budget.

A. Crown lengthening may be right for you if you have:

  • A “gummy smile” or uneven gum line that affects the appearance of your teeth
  • Teeth that are broken, worn, or too short to support a crown or bridge
  • Excess gum tissue that makes your smile look disproportionate

Our skilled periodontists will evaluate your oral health and discuss your cosmetic and functional goals to determine if crown lengthening is the best solution for achieving a balanced, confident smile.

A. Crown lengthening is generally a safe and routine procedure, but some temporary side effects can occur as your gums heal. These may include:

  • Mild swelling or discomfort
  • Minor bleeding at the treatment site
  • Sensitivity in the treated teeth

Our periodontists take every precaution to minimize discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days and enjoy long-lasting, natural-looking results.
