At Saratoga Periodontics, we specialize in crown lengthening, a procedure designed to expose more of your natural tooth structure when there isn’t enough visible above the gumline to support a dental restoration such as a crown. By carefully reshaping the gum tissue and, in some cases, a small amount of bone, crown lengthening creates the necessary space for your dentist to place a secure, long-lasting restoration.
Crown lengthening is often recommended in the following scenarios:
Crown lengthening is a straightforward and comfortable process:
The area is completely numbed to ensure you feel no discomfort during the procedure.
Our team carefully adjusts the gum tissue and, if necessary, removes a small amount of bone around the tooth.
The gums are stiched in a healthier position to reduce pocket depth and support healing.
By exposing more of the natural tooth, crown lengthening provides a stable foundation for future restorations.
Whenever possible, we aim to preserve your natural teeth and avoid extractions.
For patients seeking a more confident smile, crown lengthening can improve the overall harmony of your teeth and gums.
If your dentist has recommended a crown but there isn’t enough visible tooth structure, or if you’re looking to enhance your smile’s appearance, crown lengthening may be the ideal solution. Our team is here to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

Advanced Dental Implant Center are part of a professional affiliation of dental implant practices operated by oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, and restorative dentists. With the specialized techniques used by Advanced Dental Implant Center, such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants, nearly all patients qualify for same day dental implants from a dental perspective. Prospective patients require an initial workup that includes an oral examination, 3D radiographic evaluation, and medical history consultation. Some patients with certain medical histories may not qualify for surgical treatment. “Teeth-in-a-day”, “one day implant teeth”, “same day implant teeth”, etc. refers to the fact that on the day of surgery, patients will have teeth removed (unless all teeth are already missing, dental implants placed, and a screw retained prosthesis secured to these implants on the same day as the surgery. While this first set of teeth are permanent in the fact that they are secured to the dental implants by screws, these teeth are typically not the final set of teeth as the patient will be allowed to heal prior to the delivery of the final set of teeth. Furthermore, the patient will be allowed to suggest desired changes to the initial set of teeth prior to the fabrication of the final set of teeth. The initial set of screw retained implant teeth are permanent in the fact that they are not removable by the patient and can only be removed by personnel in a dental office. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime depending on the age of the patient when the implants were originally placed. Studies show that dental implants can last over 25 years with proper home care and regular professional maintenance.
