Our office specializes
in periodontal procedures which serve as the foundation for beautiful
and long-lasting restorative procedures.
In many cases
of dental decay, tooth fracture, or even in instances where an individual
has "short" teeth, a crown lengthening procedure will
allow your restorative dentist to properly construct an esthetic
and functional crown, bridge, or restoration.
Crown lengthening
is a simple surgical procedure in which Dr. Miller
adjusts the position of the gum around the affected tooth, thereby
providing a more solid tooth on which to anchor the restoration
of choice. A functional crown lengthening will help you regain a
beautiful smile and allow you to eat and speak with comfort and
confidence.
A purely esthetic
crown lengthening procedure to correct a "gummy" smile
is often referred to as Gum Contouring.

Before
Crown Lengthening, tooth is broken below the gum tissue

This
tooth required crown lengthening to provide enough tooth surface
for a restoration
