Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess gum tissue and sometimes bone to expose more of the tooth's surface. At Salo Manhattan Beach, we use precise techniques to reshape the gums and adjust the bone structure as needed. This procedure is often performed to make room for a dental crown, veneer, or filling, ensuring that the restoration has enough support. It can also be used cosmetically to improve a "gummy" smile, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
