A member asked:
How to tell if my teeth are too wide to have a gingioviplasty/crown lengthening procedure done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubt it..: Crown lengthening is performed in order to improve the available tooth structure present in order to retain a cap or crown. Unless there is significant bone loss around a tooth, this procedure can usually be performed.
