At Hampton Dental Surgery, our experienced team offers crown lengthening to improve both the appearance and function of your smile. Whether you need to correct a gummy smile or prepare a tooth for a crown or restoration, this precise procedure exposes more of your natural tooth, delivering better aesthetics, stronger results and long-term dental health. Performed under local anaesthetic, crown lengthening is a safe, minimally invasive treatment with a straightforward recovery. Our Hampton team takes care of every step, from your initial consultation through to your final result.
Crown lengthening is a specialist dental procedure that reshapes or removes excess gum tissue and, in some cases, underlying bone to expose more of the natural tooth surface.
At Hampton Dental Surgery, we perform crown lengthening for both cosmetic and restorative purposes, helping you achieve a more balanced, confident smile or ensuring the proper placement of dental crowns and restorations.
Crown lengthening may be recommended for:
Improving a gummy smile by reducing excess gum tissue
Exposing more tooth structure for crowns or bridges
Treating teeth that are broken or decayed below the gum line
Enhancing smile symmetry and proportions
