In other cases, it serves a functional role by providing the space needed for a dentist to place a crown or restoration that fits properly and supports long-term success.<\/p>\n At Prestige Dental Specialists in Annandale, we proudly serve patients throughout Northern Virginia (NOVA). Crown lengthening is thoughtfully planned to balance esthetics and function. We evaluate your gum architecture, bone levels, tooth position, and restorative needs to design contours that appear natural and support long-term stability.<\/p>\n The goal is to create healthy, maintainable gumlines\u2014while allowing your restorative work to fit precisely and perform predictably for years to come.<\/p>\n [\/dsm_card][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#D3EAE4″ custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” custom_css_main_element=”align-content: center;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” z_index=”100″ width_tablet=”” width_phone=”90%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” max_width=”1800px” animation_style=”fade” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”706f123c-0b79-49b0-90d7-849f3fcd4012″ header_2_text_color=”#010807″ header_2_font_size=”46px” header_3_text_color=”#010807″ width_tablet=”” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” scroll_vertical_motion=”0|50|50|100|1|0|-0.5″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#edf6f3″ z_index=”1″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#D3EAE4″ width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” border_radii=”off||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” background_enable_video_mp4=”off” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”350px||30px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”250px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”][dsm_flipbox flipbox_type=”slide” flipbox_height=”300px” flipbox_height_tablet=”400px” flipbox_height_phone=”400px” flipbox_height_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][dsm_flipbox_child title=”Esthetic crown lengthening” button_url_new_window=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”30px” background_color=”rgba(1,8,7,0.5)” background_enable_color=”on” background_image=”https:\/\/prestigedentalspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bone-grafting-banner.00_00_10_08.still003.jpg” background_enable_image=”on” background_blend=”multiply” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” parent_header_level=”h4″][\/dsm_flipbox_child][dsm_flipbox_child title=”Esthetic crown lengthening” button_url_new_window=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#010807″ header_font_size=”30px” content_text_align=”center” content_font_size=”18px” background_color=”#D3EAE4″ background_enable_color=”on” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” parent_header_level=”h4″]This approach focuses on improving smile proportions.

Others learn about crown lengthening during treatment planning, when a crown or restoration cannot be placed predictably without exposing more healthy tooth structure. A comprehensive periodontal evaluation helps determine whether gentle gum reshaping alone is sufficient, or if adjusting the underlying bone levels is also needed to support long-term health, function, and esthetic balance.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How is crown lengthening planned?” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”6vh|4vh|6vh|4vh|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Planning begins with a careful evaluation of your gumline, bone levels, tooth shape, and how your teeth are displayed when you smile. This allows us to understand both the esthetic and functional considerations unique to your case. When crown lengthening is performed for restorative purposes, we coordinate closely with your general dentist to ensure the final gum position supports properly placed crown margins, long-term tissue health, and a predictable restorative outcome.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is crown lengthening painful?” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”6vh|4vh|6vh|4vh|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Most patients find crown lengthening to be a comfortable, manageable experience.
