Crown Lengthening Surgery

Crown Lengthening is necessary when a tooth is damaged extensively due to fracture, decay, or other reasons. As a result, there may be inadequate tooth exposed above the gum line for your general dentist to place a new restoration (crown or filling). By reshaping the gum and underlying bone support around the tooth, more stable tooth structure can be exposed that was hidden beneath the gum surface making it possible for your dentist to deliver a quality restoration.
