When May I Need Dental Crown Lengthening?
Dental crown lengthening is most often done as part of a tooth restoration procedure. This involves a dentist removing gum tissue to expose the teeth more.
Key takeaways:
– A tooth that’s broken off below the gum line requires a restoration; crown lengthening may be necessary beforehand.
– The procedure is quite straightforward and only a tiny amount of gum tissue is usually removed.
– For most patients, over-the-counter pain medication will be enough to manage after the procedure.
“For patients who need a dental crown lengthening procedure, this procedure can go a long way towards helping your smile get the restoration it needs or helping you enhance your appearance if you have gummy smile.”
