Minimally-Invasive Laser Treatment

With laser-assisted crown lengthening, our highly experienced team gently zaps away a portion of gum tissue from around the base of every tooth crown. While doing this, we鈥檒l take great care to ensure the new gumline arches symmetrically and esthetically over each tooth. This process makes more of the surface of your teeth visible, eliminating the 鈥渟hort鈥� tooth look you may have noticed before. If your crown lengthening is for more functional purposes, removing this gum tissue will provide access to more of your tooth for cleanings, dental crowns, or orthodontics. While we offer traditional scalpel-based treatment, most of our patients opt for this minimally invasive alternative! Instead of needing to cut away your gum tissue, we can use a laser to vaporize it virtually painlessly. Using a laser, we can also complete your treatment faster and with greater precision. You鈥檒l notice a brand-new look and be able to return to normal activities the day of your procedure!
