Crown Lengthening

Dr. Gregory Borrowdale may recommend a crown lengthening procedure when you have decay present below your gum line. Typically, he completes this process before fitting you with a new dental crown. Other dentists often refer patients to him for crown lengthening before they start a restorative dentistry procedure to repair severely decayed or broken teeth. It exposes more of the tooth by adjusting its bone and gum level. This makes it easier to proceed with the restoration.
