Crown lengthening a surgical procedure carried out by dentist to expose a greater amount of tooth structure for the purpose of restoring the tooth. This procedure involves excessing small amount of gingival tissue around the tooth. Furthermore, it is important to understand the excessive gums (gummy smile). The most common conditions requiring crown lengthening are: teeth that are too short, tooth decay that is severe below the gum line, or a broken or fractured tooth beneath the gum line. When a tooth experiences severe decay or breaks, the healthy area that remains is reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages of Crown Lengthening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike many other cosmetic dentistry <\/a>treatments, crown lengthening only needs to be done once. In addition to creating a broader, more symmetrical smile, crown lengthening can provide other dental care benefits.

A thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and bone structure will be performed before your treatment. Additionally, to better help determine if crown lengthening surgery is right for you, your dentist will predetermine how much of the gums will need to be removed or contoured to achieve your desired results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
