What Is a Dental Crown?
If you suffer from broken, chipped, cracked, or decayed teeth, a dental crown might be a good option for you. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over damaged areas of a tooth in order to restore the tooth to full function and give you back your beautiful smile. Crowns can be placed for cosmetic or functional purposes. Dental crowns are resilient and will function just like your natural teeth.

Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that adjusts gum and bone level to form a foundation strong enough to successfully support a crown. If your tooth is decayed, broken below the gum line, or you’ve sustained too much bone loss to support a crown, a crown lengthening procedure reshapes excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of your natural tooth. This procedure can be performed on one tooth, several teeth, or to even your entire gum line for a balanced smile.
