Crown Lengthening Procedure (CLP) in Valencia, CA
What is Crown Lengthening Procedure (CLP)

What Is Crown Lengthening Procedure (CLP)?

Crown lengthening is a dental procedure that involves reshaping the gum tissue and, occasionally, the underlying bone to expose more of a tooth's surface. This technique is often used to prepare a tooth for restorative procedures or to improve the appearance of a gummy smile. It can be tailored to address either aesthetic goals, such as reducing a gummy smile, or functional needs, such as preparing a tooth for a crown.

The Benefits of Crown Lengthening

Enhanced Aesthetics

Removing excess gum tissue produces a balanced look, so your teeth stop appearing short beneath an overgrown gumline that had been covering them for years.

Improved Health

Exposing more tooth surface facilitates better cleaning and maintenance, which supports your gum health over time and reduces the pockets that collect bacteria.

Restoration Foundation

The procedure prepares teeth for crowns or other dental work by exposing the structure a restoration needs to grip onto securely and reliably for many years afterward.

Tailored Approach

Crown lengthening can be tailored to address either aesthetic goals or purely functional needs, or both at once depending on what your case requires exactly.

Our Step-by-Step Process

The procedure follows a defined sequence from evaluation through healing.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Initial Consultation

    You meet with our experienced dentist to evaluate your needs and to discuss your goals for the result and for any restoration that follows.

  2. 02

    Anesthesia Applied

    Local anesthesia is administered so that your experience stays comfortable throughout the procedure and throughout the reshaping.

  3. 03

    Gum Reshaping

    Excess gum tissue and possibly some bone are carefully reshaped to expose more of the tooth surface that your restoration will need.

  4. 04

    Contour Check

    We confirm the new gumline is even and that enough tooth structure now shows for the planned work before we complete the appointment.

  5. 05

    Recovery Care

    You receive personalized care instructions designed to optimize your healing over the coming weeks and to protect the reshaped tissue.

Signs You May Need Crown Lengthening

Consider crown lengthening if you experience any of the following.

Covered Teeth

Your gums cover too much of your teeth, which makes them look short even though they are healthy and perfectly well formed underneath.

Restoration Planned

You need a restorative dental procedure, and there is not enough tooth structure visible to support it for the crown to grip onto.

Chronic Inflammation

You have chronic gum inflammation or discomfort along a gumline that sits too low over the teeth and traps bacteria against them.

Broken Tooth

A tooth has broken or decayed below the gumline, leaving too little structure exposed for a crown to attach to at present for a restoration.

  • I went in for a broken crown on my lower tooth and was taken care of by Dr. Pham. Dr. Pham and her assistant were able to work on it right away. Dr. Pham had to grind down, remove my old crown, put in a temporary crown. I will be back in close to 3 weeks to have the permanent crown placement. Dr. Pham and her assistant were very professional, friendly, pleasant, and caring. Dr. Pham has provided dental services for me in the past, and she has always provided great, excellent, and caring dental services. The entire dental staff has always been professional, courteous, and friendly. I have been going to Dr. Lawrence Fealy DDS for over 21 years and have had dental works being done by Dr. Fealy and most of his associate dentists. The dental services that I have received from Dr. Fealy and his associate dentists over the many years have been excellent and professional. From my experience, Dr. Fealy has always recruited the best dentists to his office. I would highly recommend Dr. Fealy’s Dental service to everyone.

  • I had a terrific nerve pain in an upper back molar. I called early morning and received an appointment for 1pm. X-Rays were taken upon my arrival which reflected a cracked tooth. Another older crown next to the molar also was cracked due to a bad habit of grinding my teeth while sleeping. Valencia Aesthetic then booked me a 1pm appointment for the next day. They completed a root canal, saving the original tooth and fitting me with a temporary crown, as well as fitting me with another temporary needed crown adjacent to the cracked tooth. All work was completed that afternoon. They all were caring and professional and I left with very little pain. I highly recommend Valencia Aesthetic, previously known as Fealy Dental, where my family has been patients for the last 30 years.

  • I had an emergency dental situation with a severely swollen wisdom tooth and unbearable pain, and I honestly can’t thank Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry enough for what they did for me. I had called multiple places, but no one could accommodate me the same day. Most clinics only offered a consultation, and even after X-rays, I was told I’d have to wait a few days to see a surgeon. Meanwhile, my pain was getting worse by the hour. From the moment I called Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry, the experience was completely different. The front desk team was incredibly caring and understanding. They gave me a same-day appointment, and when I called again a few hours before my appointment saying the pain had become unbearable, they immediately asked me to come in earlier without any hesitation. When I arrived, I met Dr. Peyman, who evaluated my condition and explained that the wisdom tooth needed to be extracted due to the swollen gum covering it. Although the surgeon was only available after a couple of days, seeing the level of pain I was in, he took the initiative to perform the extraction himself. He reassured me that we could stop anytime if the pain was too much, which gave me a lot of confidence to proceed. What stood out the most was his expertise and care — I didn’t feel any pain during the entire procedure. It was smooth, professional, and honestly a huge relief after what I had been going through. After the procedure, not only did I feel immediate relief, but Dr. Peyman also personally followed up with me the next day to check on my recovery. That level of care is rare and truly appreciated. If you’re ever in an emergency dental situation, this is the place to go. They don’t just treat you — they genuinely care about getting you out of pain as quickly as possible. Highly recommend.

  • I joined Valencia Aesthetic after a friend strongly recommended Dr. Fealy, so I was initially disappointed when I learned he was retiring. However, the new team — Drs. Rayan and Peyman Kafri and Dr. Pham — has exceeded my expectations. I really appreciate their thoughtful treatment plans and the level of information they provide, which has helped me make well-informed decisions about my dental care. The staff is consistently professional and courteous, and it’s especially convenient that Valencia Aesthetic offers endodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery in addition to general dentistry. Recently, when I experienced an unexpected dental issue, the staff worked me into the schedule immediately, and the doctors adjusted their schedules to address the problem quickly, relieving my pain between two important work trips. I have rarely experienced such attentive care and service. Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry has earned my strongest recommendation!

  • We’ve all left the dentist perhaps in a little pain. I build up a lot of tarter and Kristin has been absolutely the best and gentlest I’ve ever been too! It’s like getting a massage for my teeth and gums. I’d give her 10 stars if I could

  • Dr Ryan the endo doctor did a fabulous job fixing a root canal that was botched up by my previous dentist. He was able to find the problem and clear up an infection (that I had in a root for 18 months). The previous dentist told me to wait and it would go away.

  • The best dentist I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so kind and friendly, from the very first person you encounter in the front office. I have some dental anxiety and the dentist and dental assistance explained all the steps of the procedure and checked in with me multiple times to make sure I was doing well. Excellent service all around.
