Dental Crown Lengthening for Improved Aesthetics and Function

What Is Crown Lengthening?

Dentist Colorado Springs


Crown lengthening is a dental procedure designed to improve both the appearance and functionality of your teeth by removing excess gum tissue. This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals with a “gummy” smile, where the gums cover too much of the tooth structure, making the teeth appear shorter or less balanced. Additionally, crown lengthening can be necessary for patients who require better access to their tooth structure for dental repairs, such as treating decayed or broken teeth.

During the procedure, Dr. Nichole Anderson carefully repositions the gums and, if necessary, smooths the underlying bone to expose more of the tooth. This not only results in a more balanced smile but also helps improve dental function, especially for restorative treatments like crowns. Crown lengthening enhances both the aesthetic appeal and health of your smile, addressing both cosmetic and functional needs.

What Our Patients Have to Say About Crown Lengthening

“My visit to Vibrant Laser was constructive and informative. Ashley was an excellent hygienist. She explained the steps in the cleaning process and the condition of my teeth and gums. Dr. Rikli’s examination was right on target. He identified an issue and made recommendations so I could speak constructively with my previous provider. In less then 24 hours, I initiated a positive plan with the provider and feel confident the issue is going to be resolved. I know where to get help if it need it. I also appreciated Samantha’s prompt follow through, sending x-rays to my previous provider supporting Dr. Rikli’s conclusion.  I was very impressed with the teamwork exhibited at Vibrant. Thank you and I will be back in 6 months.”

“I am currently having an implant done. I had one done at a prior office and the experience here is noticeably better. The staff are very informative and incredibly knowledgeable. I have not had any problems or discomfort that I had at the prior office. Dr. Anderson is extremely talented and I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing dental care. The follow-up to procedures also lets you know that they truly care about your dental health.”

“Dr. Anderson is a compassionate, kind, and gentle dentist. In addition, I have been blessed to have Oleta as my hygienist from the very beginning!”

“When my daughter was born, she struggled with a weak and inconsistent latch, had difficulty transferring milk, and exhibited signs of a tongue tie, including lip blisters, reflux, and clicking while feeding. She also experienced full-body tension that made car rides unbearable. Dr. Anderson carefully listened to my concerns, conducted a thorough examination, and diagnosed both a tongue and lip tie, recommending a WaterLase release. She explained the procedure, reassured us throughout, and provided detailed aftercare instructions, ensuring my daughter’s comfort and successful healing. Immediately after the procedure, my daughter’s latch improved, her reflux lessened, and her discomfort eased. Over time, her feeding became more efficient, her muscle strength improved, and she was able to gain the weight she needed to thrive. Dr. Anderson’s support before, during, and after the release was invaluable, and her genuine care for my daughter’s well-being made an immeasurable difference in our lives, for which I will always be grateful.”

“Dr. Anderson is the absolute best! I have received Botox from places in the past but it never seemed to work for very long or at all. After seeing Dr. Anderson for Botox I can never go anywhere else! Truly amazing the difference she has made in how I feel about myself. She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel heard no matter what. I am very lucky to have found such a caring and great dentist!”

“Prior to NightLase and NaseLase, I was an occasional mouth breather, clencher/grinder, and there were nights I’d wake up several times. Once receiving my first session, the results were instant, I was able to get the deepest sleep I’ve had in years. I have not mouth-breathed or grinded since. It’s been so incredible being able to sleep in peace!”

“Six years ago, choosing a new Dentist for our family of four was a very important decision. Clearly, This practice’s entire staff take great pride in their work. At every stage, they have always been professional and conscientious for me and my family.”
