Oral Piercing
Crown Lengthening
When a tooth crown or filling breaks and the fracture line ends
up below the gum line, it is very difficult for your dentist
to restore this crown with a healthy gum situation. Crown lengthening
surgery is then considered to be a conservative and a recommended
procedure where PERIODONTIST will push the gum and bone back
slightly so that your family dentist can provide you with a
well adapted and retentive crown with a healthy amount of room
(ie biological width). |

Aesthetic
Crown Lengthening OR Gummy Smile Treatment
When one has a gummy smile or is undergoing orthodontic treatment
and jaw surgery is recommended then aesthetic crown lengthening
can be used as a potential treatment to create a more aesthetic
result. Excess gum tissue is removed and reshaped to expose
more of your natural tooth surface under the gum to create a
natural broad "BOLLYWOOD smile". |
