This 27 year old School Teacher wants a new smile! She presents with several challenges. She has chipped teeth, exposed tooth roots, worn teeth etc. However, by doing what is known as "esthetic crown lengthening" we were able to provide her dentist with a "level table" to place her veneers on.
This 15 year-old Pleasant Grove, Utah patient presents with a 'gummy smile'. She would really like to show more tooth length and less gingival tissue when she smiles. A relatively common procedure called 'Crown Lengthening' was performed to eliminate the excessive gum tissue and enhance the hidden beauty of her existing teeth and smile! This 36 year-old Mapleton, Utah patient has a history of losing two of her front teeth 10 years ago. They replaced her missing teeth with dental implants. Unfortunately, the crowns did not match up well with the surrounding teeth and has always "bothered" the patient to the point that she hated to smile. By recontouring her gum tissue, together with her family dentist, we were able to create a smile that is harmonious and balanced. This 20 year-old dental assistant from Orem, Utah is around beautiful smiles everyday and desires to have one for herself. She is aware that in order to improve upon the appearance of her smile (which by the way she has already had porcelain veneers placed upon her upper front four teeth) she needed to "even out" her gum line. Again we see what is possible by reshaping the supporting tissues (bone and gums) in the creation of a fabulous smile!
