|  | In many cases of dental decay, tooth fracture, or even in 
                    instances where an individual has "short" teeth, 
                    a crown lengthening procedure will allow us to properly construct 
                    an esthetic and functional crown, bridge, or restoration. Crown lengthening is a simple surgical procedure which adjusts 
                          the position of the gum around the affected tooth, thereby 
                          providing a more solid tooth on which to anchor the 
                          restoration of choice. A functional crown lengthening 
                          will help you regain a beautiful smile and allow you 
                          to eat and speak with comfort and confidence.
