Crown Lengthening

Reveal more of your natural tooth structure with crown lengthening, an advanced procedure that reshapes the gum line for both aesthetic and restorative purposes.

Usually completed in a single appointment. Healing time before further treatment (if needed) is typically 6–12 weeks.

Pricing depends on the number of teeth involved and the complexity of gum reshaping required.

Every case begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment, including X-rays and digital imaging. We evaluate your gum health, tooth proportions, and desired outcome to create a precise, personalised treatment plan.

Crown lengthening reveals more of the natural tooth surface by gently contouring the gum line. This creates a more balanced, symmetrical smile and can also prepare the teeth for restorative work such as crowns or veneers.

What Is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a highly precise procedure used to reveal more of the natural tooth surface by reshaping the gum line. Whether performed for cosmetic reasons or as a foundation for restorative care, this treatment enhances smile symmetry and optimises proportions—bringing teeth and gums into perfect visual harmony.

By gently removing excess gum tissue (and occasionally a small amount of bone), crown lengthening improves tooth visibility and balance. It’s commonly used to correct a ‘gummy smile’ or to prepare for treatments such as veneers or crowns where additional exposure of the tooth is required.

At Chelsea Dental Clinic, all crown lengthening is carried out by our specialist periodontists, ensuring an expert blend of surgical finesse and aesthetic sensitivity. We use advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques to deliver refined outcomes with clarity, comfort, and discretion.
