Crown Lengthening
Crown Lengthening
If you feel your smile is "gummy" or if you think your teeth are too small, crown lengthening may be right for you. Crown lengthening is a procedure performed by your periodontist to reshape the gum line to improve the aesthetics of your smile by exposing more of your teeth.

What is crown lengthening?
What is crown lengthening?
Crown lengthening involves removing excess gum tissue around the upper teeth to make them look longer. If the gum line is uneven, crown lengthening can also sculpt the gum line to produce a more symmetrical, balanced smile. Crown lengthening may be done for dental care and medical reasons as well as for cosmetic purposes. If your periodontist finds decay or fracture under the gum line, for example, crown lengthening can help expose more of the tooth’s crown in order to support a filling or restoration.
Crown lengthening is done under local anesthesia, so as the numbing effect wears off, you may feel some discomfort along your new gum line.
You will most likely be prescribed pain medication, so it is important to let us know what other medications you are already taking.
Usually, a follow-up appointment will be needed to check the healing process and remove any stitches.

Our Happy Patients
I love the people here, all so nice and knowledgeable. If you have an issue they ask lots of questions to help find best solution. I believe my hygienist was Jackie and she is a wealth of knowledge. Dr farber took his time and answered all of our concerns.
Sandra Fleissner
I have been a patient of the Dearborn WEST Dental practice for about 40 years. I moved from the area 13 years ago and drive 25 miles to see the doctors and staff. I have all of my teeth and trust them to help me stay healthy. They are like family. One of my sons drives even further to see this team after graduating college.Great team! They are committed to good dental care and good coaching for successful home care!

Dr Corey Farber was cool he introduced himself then did his exam all while talking as if he was my friend. They all had such pretty there and beautiful smiles. I recommend this office very highly.

I enjoyed my visit to dearborn west dental. I was glad I could continue with Kim after my former dentist retired and it was a pleasure to have been seen by Dr. Farber. See you both in April, my next appointment at dwd.
