Functional Crown Lengthening vs Aesthetic Crown Lengthening: Differences & Similarities Explained
These two procedures sound almost identical, and the surgical steps are actually very similar. But the reason we perform them is completely different. In this video, we break it down.
What is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile occurs when excess gum tissue covers more of the teeth than ideal, making teeth appear shorter or uneven. This can affect the overall proportions of your smile, even when your teeth are healthy.
Common causes include:
- Excess gum tissue
- Altered passive eruption (when gums don’t recede properly after teeth come in)
- Tooth wear or naturally short teeth
- Jaw or lip positioning
What Is Aesthetic Crown Lengthening?
Aesthetic Crown Lengthening is a cosmetic periodontal procedure that reshapes the gum tissue—and sometimes the underlying bone—to reveal more of your natural tooth structure.
The goal is to:
- Reduce excess gum display
- Create better tooth proportions
- Even out an uneven gumline
- Enhance the overall appearance of your smile
