Why Is Crown Lengthening Important?
Crown lengthening is an important procedure because it can help to improve the overall health of your mouth and reduce a gummy smile. It entails removing excess gum tissue and bone around the teeth. Crown lengthening can also be used to prepare a tooth for future dental work, such as a crown or other restoration. Without this procedure, you may not be able to get the dental work you need.
Signs You Need Crown Lengthening
There are a few signs that you may need crown lengthening, including:
- Gummy smile. If you have a gummy smile, crown lengthening can be used to improve the appearance of your teeth.
- Crowded teeth. If your teeth are crowded, crown lengthening can create the illusion of more space between them.
- Misshapen teeth. If your teeth are misshapen, crown lengthening can help to improve their appearance.
- Tooth decay/broken tooth. If you have tooth decay, crown lengthening can be used to prepare the tooth for a future restoration.
Does Insurance Cover Crown Lengthening?
Crown lengthening is a type of cosmetic surgery, which means that it is not typically covered by insurance. However, there are some instances in which insurance will cover the procedure. This includes if crown lengthening is being done for functional reasons, such as to prepare a tooth for a future restoration. If you are considering crown lengthening and have questions about your insurance coverage, our office can help you determine if your procedure will be covered.
