Yes: Crown lengthening is most often done to expose more of the tooth for a crown or veneer. However, it can be done to reveal more of your natural tooth to treat a gummy smile, or a tooth which appears too short. Also, to gain access for your daily maintenance, especially if there is a periodontal problem.
