Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening can be recommended to make a restorative or cosmetic dental procedure possible.
If your tooth is decayed, broken below the gum line, or has insufficient tooth structure for a filling or crown, a Crown Lengthening procedure adjusts the gum, bone level, and exposes more of the tooth so it can be restored.
If your teeth appear small and your smile seems “gummy”, your teeth may actually be the proper lengths, but hiding under too much gum tissue. A crown lengthening procedure will reshape your excess gum and bone, exposing more of the natural tooth. This can be done to one tooth to even your gum line or to several teeth to bring out your natural legacy smile.
