VP Dental: Cosmetic & Family Dentist

Have you ever thought your teeth appeared shorter than they should have? Or have you been told you need a crown but there isn't enough tooth structure above the gumline to hold it up? You might not think these things happen as regularly as they do. Teeth that don't have enough visible structure can be a concern because normal restorations might not have enough surface to hold on to. This can make it challenging to put crowns on, fix broken teeth, or get the look you want in your mouth. Crown Lengthening is something we undertake at VP Dental in Raleigh, NC to treat both functional and aesthetic issues. This exact treatment meticulously reshapes the gum tissue and sometimes a tiny amount of bone to show off more of your original tooth structure. This is the base for a secure crown that is essential for restoration. It could make your smile look better by making it more even and balanced. The best part about crown lengthening is that it gets your tooth ready for restoration and makes your smile seem better overall. We want to help you with both your oral health and how good you feel about your smile. If someone has told you that you need more tooth structure for a restoration or if you just think your teeth seem too short, we're here to help.
