There are periodontal procedures that give us the basis to do restorative or cosmetic dentistry to restore your smile´s health and esthetics.

Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that remodels gum tissue and sometimes adjacent bone around one or more teeth so that enough healty tooth surface is exposed.  

Crown lengthening is often used as part of the treatment plan for a tooth that is going to get a full crown restoration, that way there is enough space between the tooth, the bone and the crown to avoid damage to the gum and bone tissues. 

Your Dentist or Periodontist may also recommend a crown lenghtening to make a restorative procedure possible. If a tooth is too worn, has decay or a fracture under the gum line, crown lengthening adjust the gum and bone levels giving access to more tooth structure to allow for the restoration.

What are the procedures benefits?

A functional crown lengthening is an important part of the total effort to enhance your health, appearence, comfort and function as much as possible.

With a new and beautiful smile and good periodontal health, you can smile, eat and speak with comfort and confidence.
