Crown Lengthening

When decay occurs below the gumline, it may be necessary to remove a small amount of bone and gum tissue. Dr. Nguyen may recommend this procedure before he makes a new crown for your tooth.

Crown lengthening procedures are done for both restorative dentistry and/or to improve the aesthetics of your gum line. Crown lengthening procedures are often needed prior to restoring broken or severely decayed teeth. This procedure adjusts the gum and bone level to expose more of the tooth so it can be restored.

Sometimes crown lengthening is done to improve a "gummy" smile because the teeth appear short. The teeth may actually be the proper length but excess gum tissue may be covering these teeth. During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth.
