Achieve a beautiful smile through precision design
Many people share concerns like "my gums show too much when I smile," "my teeth look short," or "I'm worried about the balance of my mouth." Aesthetic crown lengthening is a procedure that adjusts the position and shape of the gums to create a natural, beautiful smile line.
It requires advanced design that meticulously assesses the overall balance of the mouth area, not merely lowering the gums. At Bianca Clinic, procedures are performed by dentists with extensive academic knowledge and clinical experience.
We meticulously tailor each design to maximize the natural shape, line, and symmetry of the individual's teeth. We consider everything down to the movement of the lips when smiling and harmony with the bone structure, crafting the ideal line down to the millimeter.
Furthermore, we prioritize not only aesthetics but also long-term stability. We are also committed to designs that promote faster healing and minimize the risk of relapse.

CHARACTERISTICSAesthetic Crown Lengthening
Aesthetic crown lengthening is a procedure that adjusts the position and shape of the gums to beautifully design the ratio of the visible tooth portion and the smile line.
Similar to crown lengthening procedures performed in general dentistry, we utilize techniques that adjust the gums and surrounding bone. However, our clinic places greater emphasis on an aesthetic approach aimed at addressing gummy smiles and achieving harmonious facial balance.
Concerns like "my gums look too prominent," "my teeth appear short," or "I'm bothered by asymmetry" can be significantly improved simply by adjusting the position of your gums.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with careful consideration for pain reduction. After treatment, swelling is minimal, and most patients return to their daily routines with a short downtime.
Beyond beauty, we meticulously evaluate the condition of your gums, teeth, and bone structure to design the ideal line, ensuring long-term oral stability. This precision treatment, unique to Bianca Clinic, combines cosmetic medicine with dental science.
Precise gumline design for a gummy smile! Adjusted to the millimeter
A gummy smile involves multiple complex factors. At Bianca Clinic, we prioritize identifying these causes and always design with millimeter precision.
In particular, our clinic employs precise blade incisions for aesthetic and delicate results, rather than commonly used lasers or electrosurgical units.
This technology enables a smooth gum finish, minimizes asymmetry, and reproduces a natural gum line.
Additionally, we design the smile line with meticulous attention to horizontal continuity, considering the number of teeth visible when smiling. We craft the 10 to 12 teeth visible when smiling—from the upper front teeth to the back teeth (premolars)—into a single curve, leading to a more refined smile.
A mouth design focused on overall facial harmony for a natural smile balance
Aesthetic crown lengthening is not merely a procedure to lower the gums and make teeth appear longer. It is a procedure that designs the harmony of the mouth area, which directly impacts the overall facial impression.
We comprehensively analyze multiple factors, including lip movement when smiling, cheek volume, and facial contour angles. Based on this analysis, we determine the ideal amount of gum exposure for a natural and beautiful appearance, then apply a personalized golden ratio to design your smile.
When necessary, combining orthodontics and ceramic restorations can create a more beautiful smile. We can also recommend combining treatments such as gummy smile Botox or lip repositioning (upper lip mucosal resection).

Recommended Features
RECOMMENDED POINTSCustom-designed smile solutions tailored to each individual's unique smile
Aesthetic crown lengthening involves a comprehensive analysis of each patient's unique smile characteristics, bone structure, lip movement, and tooth angulation. Based on this assessment, we custom-design the most natural and attractive smile line for each individual.
Even a 1-2mm change in gum line position can dramatically alter the impression of a smile. That's precisely why the precision of the design—how far to lower it, what to preserve, and how to balance both sides—determines the final result.
Bianca Clinic's commitment is to enhance beauty while preserving each person's unique qualities, rather than making drastic changes.
Natural smile design, refined to the millimeter
The key to achieving a beautiful aesthetic crown lengthening result lies in the precision of the incision design. Because the gum tissue is very thin and delicate, even a slight misalignment can cause the line to appear uneven, create noticeable asymmetry, or result in an unnatural impression when smiling.
At Bianca Clinic, we employ precise incisions using blades rather than conventional lasers or electrosurgical units. Blades do not cause thermal damage and allow for exceptionally delicate gum margin treatment, offering the significant advantage of resulting in smoother, more natural-looking lines after the procedure.
Additionally, it is useful for treating gummy smiles, as the overall design takes into account all the teeth visible when smiling. We carefully assess the balance of tooth, gum, and lip movement to create a natural line from every angle.
Combined with lip repositioning for a more beautiful smile
The causes of a gummy smile involve multiple factors, including not only gum length but also lip tension, bone structure, and tooth eruption position.
Therefore, when aesthetic crown lengthening alone does not produce sufficient results, it may be combined with procedures such as lip repositioning (upper lip mucosal resection) to adjust upper lip movement or gummy smile Botox.
Lip repositioning is particularly useful for individuals whose upper lip lifts significantly when smiling, making the gums more visible. When combined with aesthetic crown lengthening, it enables a more natural overall balance of the mouth area.
Additionally, when skeletal structure or tooth alignment is the cause, orthodontic treatment can sometimes resolve the issue, making a precise diagnosis of the cause essential. At Bianca Clinic, we approach treatment from both dental and cosmetic perspectives, proposing combined procedures as needed.

Treatment Process
CONTENT OF TREATMENTPhysician's examination and counseling
First, we carefully examine the causes of your gummy smile, the condition of your gums, how your lips move when you smile, and the length and angle of your teeth. We clearly identify the areas requiring treatment and the scope of procedures, then propose an optimal treatment plan while aligning with your desired outcome.
Design
We meticulously design the gum line down to the millimeter, considering the overall balance of the mouth area. Taking into account asymmetry, how it appears when smiling, and the natural shape of the teeth, we carefully determine the position that achieves a natural impression.
treatment
Local anesthesia is administered, and the gum line is reshaped according to the design. By employing precise incisions with a blade, we create a beautiful contour while minimizing stress on the gums. The procedure takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes. After the treatment, we check for bleeding and assess the condition, scheduling a follow-up appointment for suture removal if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aesthetic Crown Lengthening
Q&ADoes aesthetic crown lengthening hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so while individual experiences may vary, there is minimal pain during the treatment. After the procedure, you may experience mild discomfort, but persistent severe pain is rare.
When can I eat after the procedure?
Soft foods may be consumed starting on the day of your procedure. Please refrain from consuming irritants or hard foods for about one week, as they may strain the treated area. Detailed dietary instructions and precautions will be provided during your consultation.
How long does an aesthetic crown lengthening procedure take?
The treatment time is approximately 30 to 60 minutes. It is a treatment that can be received in a relatively short amount of time.
How long does it take to complete after aesthetic crown lengthening?
The final appearance typically takes about 2 to 4 weeks. While the time it takes for the gums to settle into their natural position varies from person to person, most people notice a natural gum line early on.
Can aesthetic crown lengthening cause sensitivity or tooth sensitivity?
After the procedure, you may experience temporary sensitivity, but in most cases, this subsides within a few days to a week. Provided the procedure is performed correctly, gum recession* rarely occurs.
*Gingival recession... a condition where the gums recede, exposing the roots of the teeth.
How long do the effects of aesthetic crown lengthening last?
Continuing with proper care will help the results last longer. While this treatment generally offers long-term benefits, in some cases it may take about 10 years for the gums to recover 20 to 30 percent.
Does aesthetic crown lengthening make teeth more susceptible to cavities or gum disease?
The procedure itself does not cause cavities or gum disease. However, changes in the gum line may temporarily make it easier for plaque to accumulate. Regular maintenance and proper care will help maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Is aesthetic crown lengthening effective for conditions other than a gummy smile?
Yes, it's also suitable for those who feel their teeth appear short, are concerned about uneven gums on either side, or wish to balance the ratio between teeth and gums. By evening out the visible length of the teeth, it creates a more three-dimensional appearance around the mouth, resulting in a more harmonious impression. This procedure is widely chosen both as a treatment for a gummy smile and as an aesthetic approach.
Can you adjust gums that were treated at another clinic?
Treatment is possible, but the appropriate method varies depending on past procedures and tissue condition. Please consult with us during your initial consultation.
Is aesthetic crown lengthening covered by insurance?
Aesthetic crown lengthening is considered cosmetic treatment and is therefore not covered by insurance.
In what cases is aesthetic crown lengthening not possible?
Cases include having cavities in the treatment area or advanced periodontal disease. Caution is also needed when old ceramic restorations are present. Treatment may not be suitable depending on the condition of the gums and bone, so we will accurately assess this during your examination.
Can a crown, such as a ceramic one, be placed immediately after aesthetic crown lengthening?
It is recommended to wait at least two weeks, and ideally four to eight weeks, before reinserting the device, as the gums require time to stabilize.
Is aesthetic crown lengthening performed by dentists?
Yes. A dentist specializing in cosmetic dentistry and capable of accurately diagnosing the condition of your gums, bone, and teeth will be in charge. Rest assured, a doctor with expertise in both cosmetic medicine and dentistry will perform the procedure, prioritizing both aesthetics and functionality.
