Another indication for crown-lengthening is when the front teeth are too short or of uneven length. Sometimes there is too much gum tissue making the teeth appear smaller.
A cosmetic crown-lengthening can create a new smile without changing your natural teeth and turn a "gummy" smile into a naturally beautiful one.
Crown lengthening procedure is also performed to support application of veneers. If porcelain crowns or bridges are being constructed the crown lengthening surgery procedure serves both the functions of cosmetics and requirement. Dr. Mata has extensive experience and has specialized in all aspects of crown lengthening.

Replacing the present unattractive crown would not result in a cosmetic success unless the gum tissue is chnged to create normal-sized teeth.
When decay occurs below the gumline, 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.
