Will Give Your Smile a Boost
So, the functional crown lengthening that I do, sometimes when we have cavities, maybe the cavity’s very deep and that makes the tooth non-fixable, non-restorable. When we do gum surgery, crown lengthening, we pretty much are able to save the tooth, giving the necessary structure that I need to place a restoration. So, a tooth that was meant to be pulled, now we can save it. And usually I … we offer options, like, in dental implants. I always try to keep the tooth first because that’s the best implant, the tooth. I mean, if, at some point, we need to do an implant, we’ll do it, but we’ll try to save it and, doing crown lengthening, it allows us to keep the tooth and restore it and have it there for years.
