When decay occurs below the gumlime, it may be necessary to remove a small amount of bone and gum tissue. Your dentist may ask for this procedure before he or she makes a new crown for your tooth.

Reshaping The Gum and Supporting Tissues: This will allow your general dentist adequate room to place a quality final restoration.

Teeth can often be hidden underneath excess gum tissue, making them appear short and unattractive. A procedure(esthetic crown lengthening) can be performed to expose the natural shape of the teeth. This is often done after orthodontics. Teeth are also frequently lengthened before crowns or veneers are fabricated.
