The aim of this case report is to highlight and describe crown lengthening procedure keeping in mind the increasing demand of esthetic dentistry. As mentioned by 2003 American Academy of Periodontology (Practice Profile Survey), crown lengthening is the most conventional surgical periodontal treatment. The present case is managed with the surgical approach of crown lengthening without compromising esthetics and tooth support.
