Crown Lengthening and How It Can Fix Your Smile

Crown lengthening can help to improve the look of your smile and can restore your smile to its natural healthy state. If your tooth has been negatively impacted and not enough of it is above the gum line to fix, crown lengthening can expose more of the tooth structure to allow the tooth to be restored.

If you are struggling with your smile and think that crown lengthening may help to fix your problem, you can contact Dr. Rice and her team. Once she has evaluated your smile and taken x-rays, you will be able to develop a plan in order to determine if crown lengthening is appropriate for you.

The length of time that crown lengthening takes depends on the number of teeth you have that need to be corrected. In order to expose more of the tooth, Dr. Rice may need to cut some of the area around the gum. Once the incisions have been made, sometimes sutures will be necessary, but generally your gums will be able to begin immediately to repair themselves.
