Crown Lengthening

Crown Lengthening

The treatment option called crown lengthening is available to prepare a tooth for restorative dentistry or to cosmetically enhance your smile.

Restorative Dentistry

When decay occurs below the gum line, it may be necessary to reposition the gum and bone in order to expose healthy root structure. Your dentist may ask for this procedure to be performed before he or she makes a new crown for your tooth.

If the front teeth are too short or of uneven length, crown lengthening might be indicated. Reshaping the gum and supporting tissues will allow your general dentist adequate room to place a quality laminate or cap.
