Crown Lengthening

COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Crown Lengthening in Upland, CA for Healthier Gums & Restorations

At Empower Dental in Upland, we believe every smile deserves to look and feel its best. Crown lengthening is a transformative periodontal procedure that exposes more of the natural tooth structure, whether for cosmetic improvement or to support a necessary restoration like a crown or filling. If you’ve been told your tooth is “too short” to restore—or if you’re unhappy with a “gummy” smile—this treatment could be the perfect solution.

Call us today at (909) 359-6964 to schedule your consultation.

How the Procedure Works

We start by numbing the area with local anesthesia. Using Laser Dentistry, Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Scalers, and Soft Tissue Lasers, we gently reshape the gums and bone to expose more of the tooth. Healing is typically quick, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days.

We use local anesthesia and laser-assisted tools for a comfortable experience.

Initial healing takes 1–2 weeks, but complete healing may take 6–8 weeks.

Yes, most patients resume work within 24 hours.

Yes, especially if treating a gummy smile. It creates a more balanced appearance.

Often, yes—especially if crown lengthening is performed to support a restoration.

If medically necessary, some insurance plans will cover it. We’ll help verify your coverage.

As with any procedure, there’s a small risk of sensitivity or infection—but it’s rare.

We’ll provide easy instructions, including avoiding spicy foods and brushing gently.

We use digital X-rays, lasers, ultrasonic tools, and advanced imaging.
