Crown lengthening, or a gum lift, is used by Dr. Adams at Diamond Bar Surgery Center to bring out the natural beauty of a patient's teeth that is obstructed by the gums. Many people have a naturally low gum line, so it may appear as if they simply have very small front teeth. The reality, however, is that much of their crowns (the visible part of their teeth) are merely behind the gums. If this describes your situation call our office because Dr. Adams is one of the premier providers of gum lifts in Diamond Bar, CA and the surrounding Rowland Heights, Chino Hills, and Walnut communities. The crown lengthening procedure itself consists of sedating the patient before gently removing pieces of the gum. The gums are sculpted so that, as well as having a longer tooth, the gum line is more even and the teeth are more symmetrical. The results have to be seen to be believed.
