Crown Lengthening Services in Los Angeles

If you need more tooth surface exposed—whether for a dental crown or to improve the look of your smile—crown lengthening may be the right solution. This precise procedure reshapes the gum line to reveal more of your natural tooth, helping with both restoration and aesthetics.

At Laser Dentistry by Alexander Ash, DDS, we use Solea® laser technology to perform crown lengthening with exceptional accuracy and a gentler approach than traditional methods. Unlike conventional surgery, there are no scalpels or sutures—just precise, targeted treatment with a faster recovery.

As part of Studio Dental by Alexander Ash, DDS, our team specializes in laser-first dentistry that prioritizes comfort, efficiency, and long-term results. Whether you’re restoring a damaged tooth or refining your smile, we’re here to help.

How Solea® Laser Crown Lengthening Works

Traditional crown lengthening often involves cutting gum tissue and placing sutures, which leads to longer recovery times. The Solea® laser provides a far less invasive alternative—using focused laser energy to reshape the gum line with reduced trauma and bleeding.

Dr. Alexander Ash uses this advanced laser to precisely remove gum tissue for a smoother treatment experience. Most patients experience less swelling and bleeding, and are able to resume light activity the same day.

This refined approach makes it ideal for both cosmetic and functional cases.

Why Choose Solea® Laser Crown Lengthening?

Dr. Alexander Ash and our team recommend laser crown lengthening for:

  • More Precision – Solea® laser allows for exact sculpting of gum tissue, leading to optimal contour and better tooth exposure
  • Less Discomfort Than Traditional Surgery – Laser minimizes bleeding and irritation, resulting in a quicker, smoother recovery
  • Faster Treatment – The efficient laser process reduces time in the dental chair
  • No Sutures or Scalpels – Patients benefit from a cleaner, more streamlined procedure

Located in Studio City, our office specializes in Solea® laser crown lengthening to provide a safe, effective, and convenient solution for patients looking to improve their smile or prepare for restorative dental work.

What Is Crown Lengthening Used For?

Crown lengthening can be performed for both restorative and cosmetic reasons. Common goals include:

  • Making space for a dental crown or filling when a tooth is too short or broken near the gumline
  • Correcting a “gummy smile” to improve balance between teeth and gums
  • Exposing more of the tooth structure for better oral hygiene or bite function

Whether you're dealing with damage, decay, or simply want to enhance your smile, crown lengthening creates the foundation for long-term dental success.

Am I a Candidate for Laser Crown Lengthening?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have a tooth that is broken near the gumline
  • Were told you don’t have enough tooth structure for a crown
  • Feel your gums cover too much of your teeth
  • Want a more symmetrical smile for cosmetic reasons

During your consultation, Dr. Ash will evaluate your smile and explain whether laser crown lengthening is the right option for your needs and goals.
