Maybe: Without being able to see and examine your tooth, it is impossible to answer this question definitively. Most hypererupted teeth can be saved as long as adequate bone remains to anchor them in. The only way to know is see your dentist.

When it finally comes time to restore the mouth the super erupted tooth is in the wa.Y to "shorten" it is costly and its long term prognosis guarded. Usually it is better to have it extracted.

Options: See a dentist to determine if the tooth should be extracted, repositioned with orthodontics or saved in place. It depends upon the health of the bone and supporting tissues, the level of the bone, the position and angle of the tooth, the occlusion and most importantly how important it is to save the tooth. Will it do more harm or more good and is it worth the effort and the cost?
