At Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group, we have a dental solution for every patient. Some patients are in need of extractions and implants, but there are still a lot of ways to save a damaged tooth before it would need to be extracted. If a cavity occurs close to the gum line, or decay expands to a larger portion of the tooth, patients may think a crown can’t be placed to save the tooth. A crown lengthening procedure can correct this issue.
Crown lengthening is a standard procedure performed to expose a larger surface area of the tooth at the gum line. A dentist removes excess gum tissue, exposing more of the tooth and creating a surface a crown could be fit. This is just one method we utilize to save damaged teeth, and wherever your cavity or issue has occurred, we can help.
