When getting a crown, your dentist must prepare your tooth to receive the crown. Sometimes
there is not enough tooth surface above the gumline to accomplish this. Dr. Goldfarb and
Dr. Eisenberg can use crown lengthening to provide more tooth surface. This ensures a more
esthetic and stable crown for long-term success and comfort. Also, if you have a "gummy" smile
or an uneven gum line, crown lengthening can make your teeth look longer and more even.
