Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are fitted over natural teeth for cosmetic or structural purposes. When a tooth is bent, missing, or misshapen, a crown may be suggested. A crown is also used to finish dental operations including bridges, root canals, and dental implants. Crowns must be able to adhere to an existing tooth securely.
Crown lengthening can be beneficial. Crown lengthening is done by recontouring gum tissue and, in some cases, bone to reveal more of a tooth's surface for a crown. It's a simple procedure that usually takes less than an hour.
