Crown Lengthening: see it on your own smile first
Expose more of short, square-looking teeth.
Sometimes teeth look short not because they are, but because gum covers more of them than it should — a pattern called altered passive eruption. Crown lengthening repositions the gum (and where needed the underlying bone) to reveal the tooth that was there all along.
It's a minor surgical procedure with a striking payoff in the right case: normal-length teeth that were hiding in plain sight.

The honest limits of this preview
Visual simulation of a surgical aesthetic outcome. Requires clinical assessment in practice. A preview can't see bone, bite, gum health or anything beneath the surface — only a clinical exam can. Treat it as a conversation starter for your dentist, never as a promised result.
Worth asking your dentist
- Are my teeth actually short, or partly covered by gum?
- Does my case need gum reshaping only, or bone recontouring too?
- What's healing like, and when does the final gumline settle?
