Crown Lengthening
When a tooth breaks or is decayed beneath the gum tissue, Crown Lengthening is performed to enable the dentist to restore the tooth by repositioning the gum to expose the fracture or decay.
Crown Lengthening is also used to create a more esthetic smile in cases where the teeth are too short (gummy smile) or when the smile is asymmetrical because of tooth length differences.
