Contact UsWhat Is Aesthetic Crown Lengthening?
Aesthetic crown lengthening is an oral surgery procedure that can enhance the health and appearance of your smile. Crown lengthening may be a confusing name to some since it sounds like it entails making the tooth longer. A more precise term is crown exposure because gum tissue is excised to show more of the enamel. You may want crown lengthening for aesthetic reasons if you'd like to improve a "gummy" smile. It can also be needed if not enough of your tooth is visible to support a filling, crown, or another restoration. To get more information, schedule an appointment at Maison BE in New York, NY.
What Are the Benefits of Aesthetic Crown Lengthening?
Aesthetic crown lengthening is an oral procedure that provides several benefits for men and women in New York, NY, like:
- Enhancing the look of teeth by revealing additional tooth framework
- Providing improved access for restorative treatments such as dental bridges or dental crowns
- Fixing instances of gummy smiles by reducing extra gum tissue
- Improving comprehensive oral health by allowing simpler cleaning of gums and teeth
- Caring for cavities or fractures that happen under the gums
- Expanding the long life of dental restorations by creating a stable base
- Making a more symmetrical and balanced gum line for an enhanced smile
- Enhancing self-confidence and self-esteem with more appealing teeth
How Does Crown Lengthening Work?
Before the crown lengthening procedure, local anesthesia is applied to the needed regions to make the process more comfortable. You can discuss other sedation methods with Dr. Ellen Katz or Dr. Bridget Glazarov during your initial consultation to help you feel calm during the procedure. Once your mouth is prepared, the gum tissue is removed in small slivers to slowly show more of your enamel, and then your gumline will be sculpted for an even look. Once the treatment is complete, your dentist will seal the soft gum tissue to stop the bleeding, followed by cleaning your mouth. After your crown lengthening treatment, your mouth could be sore and swollen. Cold compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers can usually be utilized to minimize your discomfort, but we may prescribe antibiotics and/or pain medication. It may be helpful to adhere to a liquid or soft food diet as your mouth heals.
Maison BE Dental Studio Reviews
An exceptional dental experience like none other. From the moment I walked in the door until I left, I was treated like gold. The staff is warm and inviting. My hygienist, Jade was personable and put me at ease during my new patient experience. Dr. Ellen helped me create a plan of care based on my goals and what's best best for my oral health. The office is fabulous and it's a boutique experience I cannot recommend enough. This dental studio is like none other and I am so pleased to be a new patient at such a wonderful and caring dental studio. They have added touches and options that set them apart from all others and they have raised the bar on what an amazing patient experience is supposed to feel like. I speak confidently and with experience writing this review as I'm a nurse and they know what it means to make it all about the patient. They have thought of everything and then things that make sense that no other dental office has offered during an office visit. My under eye patches were soothing and my favorite part! I truly feel that everyone has my best interest at heart and insures I feel like a VIP while at Maison Be. They sent me home with a beautiful bag of goodies which made my day. I cannot wait to wear my new sweatshirt and feel apart of the Maison Be family as I am proud to represent such an exceptional dental studio. This women owned business has knocked it out of the park!!!!! I am pleased to support these women as they build a brand unlike none other. Thank you everyone who made my first experience one that I will not forget. I can't wait to go back and who says that about the dentist?! Fabulous and fun!!
Have been looking for a new dentist since i moved to the city and after some research and a TikTok post(haha) i decided to try out Maison Be. To start off the appointment making process was so smooth for a new patient, didn't have to call just made an appointment online; the front desk staff is very very organized, so welcoming and kind, very short wait and even offered me a beverage while i waited. The hygienist(completely forgot her name but i believe it starts with a J) and Dr (Ellen Katz) were both so sweet and personable. They both made me feel so comfortable with the amenities provided AND checked in with me while they were checking and cleaning my teeth. I really appreciate the service and visit I received because as a person of color I feel a lot of offices aren't as welcoming and genuine about the care they give me. So glad I found my new dentist! Thank you so much!!!
The doctor has the most personable approach, remembering me every time. Had my first ever filling (I was nervous) and they made me so comfortable. It also was super quick and efficient. As a former dentist hater/avoider, they have truly turned my views on the dentist around.
Dr. Ellen is the best. She had a comprehensive understanding of what I needed to get taken care of and she provided a plan that would work effectively to ensure I get the results I want. She was extremely attentive and performed every procedure smoothly with great results and zero pain! I recommend her for all dental needs and trust her to do what’s best for the patient because of her vast experience and academic knowledge. The experience at the office was 5 stars, it’s a beautiful place and felt like I was at a luxury spa!
Absolutely amazing. A trip to the dentist that feels like a relaxing day on vacation.

Aesthetic Crown Lengthening FAQs
How do I know if I need a touch-up after my initial aesthetic crown lengthening treatment?
Aesthetic outcomes will be assessed during your follow-up visits to Maison BE Dental Studio. If additional adjustments are needed to achieve your desired result, a touch-up procedure may be recommended. This decision is typically based on how your gums have healed and how your teeth have responded after the initial procedure. It's important to maintain regular visits so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Patient satisfaction with the aesthetic result is our primary goal.
Can aesthetic crown lengthening make my teeth more sensitive?
Aesthetic crown lengthening may expose more of your tooth's root surface, which can increase sensitivity, particularly to hot and cold temperatures. This sensitivity is usually temporary and should diminish within a few weeks after the procedure. We recommend using toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth if discomfort persists. Additionally, we provide specialized care instructions to help manage any sensitivity. If sensitivity continues beyond a reasonable time frame, please consult with us for further evaluation.
Are there any specific toothpastes or oral care products you recommend after aesthetic crown lengthening?
Post-procedure, it's important to use gentle oral care products. We recommend toothpaste formulated for sensitive teeth and soft-bristled toothbrushes to avoid irritating the treated area. An antibacterial mouthwash can also be beneficial to prevent infection and promote healing. Our team will provide a list of recommended products tailored to your specific needs during your recovery period. Regular use of these products will help ensure a smooth and successful healing process.
What should I avoid doing immediately after my aesthetic crown lengthening procedure?
Immediately following your procedure, it's important to avoid any vigorous rinsing or spitting to prevent disrupting the surgical site. We also advise against smoking and drinking through a straw, as these activities can negatively affect the healing process. It's best to rest and keep physical activity to a minimum for the first 24-48 hours. Avoiding hard or crunchy foods can also prevent injury to the treatment area. Following these guidelines will help ensure the best possible healing and aesthetic outcome.
