Crown Lengthening and Shortening
A bright smile can influence your life in so many ways. For example, it can increase your self-esteem and confidence, which can even impact your career and relationships. A smile you feel confident about can help you feel more at ease, not only with yourself, but with friends and strangers, too. At Capital Dental Design we believe in optimal oral health and the power of your smile as a reflection of your positivity, and a vehicle for joy. If you have a gummy or uneven smile that makes you feel self-conscious, schedule an appointment today to discuss whether crown lengthening and shortening is right for you.

Crown Lengthening and Shortening Process
The crown lengthening and shortening process will begin with an initial consultation, during which Dr. Forbes will evaluate and scan your mouth to determine if crown lengthening and shortening is the right treatment option for you. If so, a local anesthetic will be administered. Dental sedation is also available to ensure you experience minimal discomfort and are able to remain relaxed while the procedure is performed. Once you are comfortable, Dr. Forbes will begin removing small amounts of your gum tissue using a scalpel or laser until the desired gumline is achieved. Crown lengthening and shortening may also be performed as part of placing a dental crown.

Cost of Crown Lengthening and Shortening
Several factors will determine the total cost of crown lengthening and shortening, such as the severity of your case, if dental sedation is necessary, and whether the procedure is covered (and if so, how much) by your dental insurance plan. Prior to scheduling any procedure, we will discuss the anticipated costs, verify your benefits (if applicable) to determine out-of-pocket costs, and answer any questions you may have about billing.
If you are not covered under a dental insurance plan, or if you are simply interested in saving money, consider joining the Capital Dental Design Membership Plan. Although we make every effort to keep our services affordable for all patients, joining our membership plan allows us to save you even more money by covering the cost of preventive care such as cleanings, exams, and routine x-rays. We also offer discounts of 10-15% on other dental services offered at our clinic. To learn more about our membership plan, payment options, or anticipated costs, contact our office today!
