Understanding the Crown Lengthening Process
At DentalZone, our dentists and team carefully excise excess gum tissue and reshapes the bone structure as necessary. The procedure generally takes between one to two hours, depending on the number of teeth treated. With local anesthesia in place, your comfort is our priority, and most patients report only mild discomfort during recovery. Healing typically occurs within two to three weeks, after which any final restorative work can be performed.

Common Questions Regarding Crown Lengthening
What is the recovery timeline after crown lengthening?
Most individuals see recovery within two to three weeks. Early discomfort usually fades within a few days, and routine activities can often be resumed shortly after the 327 Moffett Blvd, Suite A , Mountain View, CA 94043 procedure.
Will I experience increased tooth sensitivity following crown lengthening?
Some temporary sensitivity may arise as more tooth surface is revealed. This sensitivity typically diminishes as your teeth adjust to their new shapes over the course of several weeks.
Can multiple teeth be treated with crown lengthening at once?
Absolutely, the procedure can address several teeth in a single appointment. Dr. Kurosch Hatami will assess your specific requirements to determine the most effective treatment plan.
