This 23 year old female presents with two complaints regarding her smile.  She is unhappy with the appearance of her front tooth that was previously restored with a porcelain fused to metal restoration.  She feels like her smile is unbalanced. After consulting with her restorative dentist regarding our findings and the patient’s desires, we presented the following treatment plan: a hard tissue crown lengthening on her right side to match the length that she has on the left followed by veneers on teeth #4-13.

This otherwise healthy, active 13 year old male presents with Gingival Hyperplasia as a result of his less than idea oral hygiene and his orthodontic appliances.  By eliminating his excess gum tissue, his orthodontic care can progress and his brushing can be improved.

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 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!

Who doesn't want a great attractive smile?  Everyone does!  This 50 year old has always wanted to improve her smile and her excessive display of gum tissue when she smiled, talked or laughed.  Unfortunately until visiting with her new dentist about what she would like her smile to look like, she had no idea what her options were or what could be done without major jaw surgery.  By performing "Crown Lengthening" on her front 8 teeth, she was able to obtain the smile she has always dreamed of.
