When a tooth is fractured or contains a very large filling and your dentist has recommended a crown to restore the tooth a crown lengthening procedure may be required.
A crown lengthening procedure involves the removal and re-contouring of the gum and bone surrounding the tooth that needs to be crowned. After the crown lengthening procedure has been done your dentist will be provided with enough tooth to work with so that the crown can be placed. With crown lengthening the crown will have a better chance of being retained on the tooth and it will allow the gum tissue around the tooth to be healthier.
For more information on Crown Lengthening or other services we offer call one of our periodontal professionals.
