Crown Lengthening: OverviewWhen decay occurs below the gum line, it may be necessary to remove a small amount of bone and gum tissue. Your dentist may ask for this procedure before he or she makes a new crown for your tooth.
If the front teeth are too short or of uneven length, crown lengthening might be indicated. Reshaping the gum and supporting tissues will allow your general dentist adequate room to place a quality final restoration.
Crown Lengthening: ProcedureCrown lengthening is used to correct whats commonly referred to as a gummy smile. A gummy smile is apparent when the gum line appears to be creeping down over the teeth, making them appear short.
The gum line, and the bone just beneath the gum line, can be lowered to change the appearance of your smile. This can create a more even gum line or make the teeth appear longer. Gingival (gum) contouring is the process of recontouring the gum only. Crown lengthening refers to recontouring of both gum and supporting bone.

The entire staff of PerioWest was exceptional from my initial call to schedule a tooth extraction all the way through to aftercare. Dr. Sanchez and team ensured that I understood all the procedures and minimized any discomfort during the procedure itself.

Dr. Sanchez and staff are the best. I felt like they were on my team in dealing with my periodontal disease. Now, one year into treatment, I no longer feel shame or guilt about my teeth!

After my previous periodontist had started planning for me to have dental implants I began to research options. I found Dr Sanchez as my last chance. I went in with pocket readings of up to 7 millimeters and even some mobility in a few teeth. Now, six months after treatment, I have pocket depths of mostly two and threes. The teeth that had mobility have much better attachment. I'm not sure how stable this change will be, but I am grateful I went in when I did and hope for continued success.

I have been very happy with my experience with Dr. Sanchez and his staff. Everyone has been very professional and procedures and processes are thoroughly explained. I had the LANAP procedure and I really appreciated the kind, professional and thoughtful treatment I received...from ensuring my comfort before, during, and after care. A great professional team!

When I was referred to Dr Sanchez for a examination of my teeth I had to check the reviews to see what I was getting into. All the positive reviews definitely helped me to go through with this appointment and all these reviews are spot on! Nothing but professionalism throughout the entire office. Great staff! Warm and welcoming atmosphere. The office is perfectly maintained and easy to relax. My surgery was great! I never had any pain during or after. I am confident that I am in good hands when it comes to my teeth and gums going forward! Thank you to all the staff and Dr Sanchez for making my experience with PerioWest a great one!

My experience at PerioWest as been amazing. I have been a patient there for more than one year. The staff, environment, and dental professionals are outstanding and compassionate. PerioWest is a judgment-free zone. Dr. Sanchez took his time when examining me. He created a treatment plan that catered to my specific medical and financial needs. He even called to check on me after my surgery. This clinic is outstanding. The PerioWest team provides treatment that WORKS. They have helped me regain my confidence. Please visit them and remember that your health is your wealth!

Four different gum and bone procedures with zero pain, quick recovery, no problems of any kind. I couldn't be more pleased. If you have any gum disease, see Dr. Sanchez.

My dentist kept telling me I had gum recession but nothing could be done about it. I looked around and found PerioWest, and I am so glad I did. Dr. Sanchez examined my teeth and gums, explained everything that could be done, and the staff even walked me through financial options. Dr. Sanchez has been wonderful and so have all the staff at PerioWest.

I Wish i could give them more then 5 stars, I was suffering from advanced periodontal disease and my dentist was sure i was going to have to have teeth removed. I'm glad I found Periowest and Dr. Sanchez, with him and his team they where able to save my teeth and restore my gums back to healthy with LNAP. Couldn't be happier with the level of care and service I received. I would definitely recommend them to any one suffering with periodontal issues.
