In many cases of dental decay, tooth fracture, or even
in instances where an individual has "short"
teeth, a crown lengthening procedure will allow us to
properly construct an esthetic and functional crown,
bridge, or restoration.
Crown lengthening is a simple surgical procedure which
adjusts the position of the gum around the affected
tooth, thereby providing a more solid tooth on which
to anchor the restoration of choice. A functional crown
lengthening will help you regain a beautiful smile and
allow you to eat and speak with comfort and confidence.
A purely esthetic crown lengthening procedure to correct
a "gummy" smile is often referred to as Gum
Contouring.
