Crown Lengthening in Bloomingdale IL | Improve Tooth Structure & Smile Aesthetics
Crown lengthening is a common dental procedure that reshapes the gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth. It can improve both the function and appearance of your smile.
At My Bloomingdale Dentist, Dr. Henry Kim performs crown lengthening with precision and care for patients who need more tooth structure for restorations or want to enhance the look of a “gummy” smile.
Common Reasons for Crown Lengthening
- To restore a tooth that is broken or decayed below the gum line
- To make room for a crown or filling when there isn’t enough visible tooth
- To improve the appearance of short teeth or excessive gum tissue
- To create a more balanced, attractive gum line
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Consultation & Planning — Dr. Kim will examine your teeth and gums and discuss whether crown lengthening is the best solution.
- Procedure — The area is numbed for comfort. Excess gum and bone tissue are carefully reshaped to expose more of the tooth.
- Healing — Most patients heal within a few weeks. A follow-up visit ensures proper healing before final restoration (such as a crown).
Local anesthesia is used, and we offer sedation options for patients with dental anxiety.
