Crown Lengthening

Services » Periodontal Dentistry » Crown Lengthening

At Rocklin Dental Team, our dentists in Rocklin, CA can use crown lengthening preventative measure against periodontal infections. Usually implemented in response to repeated infection, the procedure is an effective option for those patients who have oversized gums covering a large portion of the crown. These patients often have problems maintaining their oral health because the extra gum tissue makes many more tight spaces that can trap food, breeding bacteria and infection. The procedure is quite simple, and the patient is sedated as the excess gum tissue is surgically removed. As this is happening, your Rocklin periodontist shapes a smooth and symmetrical gum line with significantly less space so that it will be resistant to infection.
