Reshape Your Smile with Precision and Care at Vacaville Dental Group

At Vacaville Dental Group, we understand that a healthy smile is just the beginning—achieving an attractive, well-balanced appearance matters too. If you struggle with a "gummy smile," uneven gum lines, or need additional tooth exposure to support a dental crown or restoration, crown lengthening in Vacaville offers a trusted solution. This precise procedure gently reshapes the gum and bone tissue to reveal more of the tooth's natural surface, improving both function and aesthetics.

What Is Crown Lengthening?

Crown lengthening is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove excess gum tissue—and in some cases, a small amount of bone—around one or more teeth. This exposes more of the natural tooth surface, making it ideal for both cosmetic smile improvements and necessary restorative work.

You May Need Crown Lengthening in Vacaville If You:

  • Have a “gummy” smile that makes your teeth look short
  • Need more tooth surface exposed for a dental crown or filling
  • Have decay or a fracture below the gum line
  • Want to achieve a more symmetrical and even smile appearance

Why Choose Vacaville Dental Group for Crown Lengthening?

Enhanced Smile Aesthetics

Crown lengthening can greatly enhance your smile by balancing the ratio between your teeth and gums. By reducing excessive gum visibility, we create a smile that looks naturally proportioned and more attractive.
  • Reduces the appearance of excess gums
  • Improves overall smile symmetry
  • Elevates results of veneers, crowns, and other cosmetic treatments

Restorative Benefits

When a tooth is broken or decayed near the gum line, crown lengthening can make restorative procedures possible. By exposing more tooth structure, we ensure your crown or filling fits properly and lasts longer.
  • Supports crown and filling placement
  • Enhances treatment longevity
  • Helps reduce the risk of further decay and irritation

Comfortable, Skilled Care at Every Step

At Vacaville Dental Group, your comfort and safety come first. We use advanced technology and local anesthesia to ensure your procedure is smooth and virtually painless.
  • Experienced, caring dental team
  • Modern tools for gentle, precise treatment
  • Clear instructions for pre- and post-procedure care

What to Expect During the Procedure

Crown lengthening typically takes about one hour, depending on your individual needs. After thoroughly numbing the area, we gently remove excess gum and, if needed, bone tissue. Most patients resume normal activities within a day or two, and healing is complete within a few weeks.

Don’t Let Your Dental Benefits Go to Waste: Use Them Before Year-End

If you have dental insurance, chances are you're paying for benefits that are designed to help keep your smile healthy. Unfortunately, many patients don't realize that these benefits often reset at the end of the plan year — meaning any unused coverage is lost. At Vacaville Dental Group, we want to make sure you get the most out of the plan you're already paying for by scheduling your preventive care and necessary treatments before your benefits expire.
