Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening (or crown exposure) is often required when not enough tooth structure is available for a crown or to expose a cavity under the gumline.

The procedure involves adjusting the level of the gum tissue and bone around the tooth. The procedure takes approximately one hour.

When the procedure is completed, sutures, and sometimes a protective bandage are placed to help secure the new gum-to-tooth relationship. You will need to be seen in one or two weeks to evaluate your healing. jaw bone regeneration

Guided Tissue Bone Regeneration

Guided tissue bone regeneration regenerates the previously lost gum and bone tissue. This involves using either alone or in combination bone grafts, resorbable collagen membranes that are inserted over the bone or bioactive gels.
