Crown lengthening’s are required because of a short tooth, excessive gums, a fracture below the gum line, or old fillings and decay that extends below the gums. The procedure is performed to re-position the gum tissue from around the tooth, or teeth, to extend the length of the usable tooth for a proper crown fitting to occur. All crown lengthening procedures require a small amount of bone to be removed to reposition the gums. Contact us for a consultation on how our team can help you regain your smile.
