PROCEDURES
Crown Lengthening (Pre-Prosthetic Surgery)
When decay or tooth fracture occurs below the gumline, it may be necessary to remove a small amount of bone and gum tissue. Your dentist may ask for this procedure before he or she makes a new crown for your tooth. This is necessary so the crown would be placed in a healthy environment without impinging on the gum or bone.
Reshaping The Gum and Supporting Tissues: This will allow your general dentist adequate room to place a quality final restoration. The restoration by your dentist can usually be started by your dentist a minimum of 8 weeks after surgery.
Crown Lengthening (Gummy Smile Correction)
Gummy Smile: Another indication for crown lengthening is when the front teeth are too short or of uneven length. This procedure is a cosmetic procedure that dramatically can change your smile.
