The crown is the visible part of the mouth, while the root is the part of the tooth submerged in the bone.
Crown lengthening is a procedure used to increase the length of the crown or the visible part of the tooth. It can help solve aesthetic disagreement.
Porcelain or metal porcelain crowns are a very effective option to restore lost function and aesthetics.
The teeth are supported by the alveolar bone, which is covered by the gums. The procedure required for crown lengthening depends on whether it is necessary to remove only the gum.
During the first 3 days after crown lengthening, you may experience swelling, pain, and discomfort when eating.
A coronal lengthening can cost between $1,000 and $2,000. Costs will vary depending on geographic location.
