COSMETIC DENTISTRY
At Empower Dental, we’re committed to creating smiles that are both healthy and beautiful. Crown lengthening is a specialized periodontal procedure that carefully reshapes the gum line to reveal more of your natural tooth. This treatment can be done for cosmetic purposes, such as reducing the look of a “gummy” smile, or for functional reasons, like preparing a tooth for a crown or filling when there isn’t enough exposed structure.
Whether your goal is aesthetic improvement or ensuring the success of a restoration, crown lengthening offers a precise, effective solution tailored to your unique needs.
At Empower Dental, your smile is our priority. With compassionate care and the latest dental technology, we’re here to keep your smile strong, healthy, and radiant for years to come.
We are located at the corner of Allen Avenue and Washington Boulevard in Pasadena, CA. Call (626-654-4507) to schedule your dentistry appointment today.
Crown lengthening is a gentle surgical procedure that reshapes your gum line, and sometimes the underlying bone, to reveal more of your natural tooth. For many patients, it’s the key to restoring dental health or achieving a more balanced, confident smile. Whether you’ve been told a tooth is “too short” for a crown, or you’re unhappy with a gummy appearance, this treatment can provide both functional and cosmetic benefits.
At Empower Dental, we combine expertise with advanced technology to make crown lengthening more precise, comfortable, and predictable. Our tools allow us to plan every detail of your treatment and deliver results that look and feel natural.
Crown lengthening can be both a restorative and cosmetic procedure. It’s often recommended when there isn’t enough visible tooth structure to support a filling or crown, or when you’d like to correct a “gummy” or uneven smile. Here are some of the most common reasons patients choose this treatment:
Crown lengthening may be an excellent option if you need more tooth structure for a restoration, want to correct uneven gums, or are looking to enhance your smile’s appearance.
