Crown Lengthening

When decay occurs below the gumline, it may be necessary to remove a small amount of bone and gum tissue. Your dentist may ask for crownthis procedure before he or she makes a new crown for your tooth.

Crown Lengthening procedures are done for both restorative dentistry and/or to improve the esthetics of your gum line. General practitioners often refer for crown lengthening procedures prior to restoration of broken or severely decayed teeth. This procedure adjusts the gum and bone level to expose more of the tooth so it can be restored.

Sometimes crown lengthening is done to improve a “gummy” smile because the teeth appear short. The teeth may actually be the proper length but excess gum tissue may be covering these teeth. During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth.

Any dental work I have in the future will be performed here. They rock!

As a 30 year old male, I still loathe going to the dentist. I broke a tooth on Monday, and Gateway examined the damage 15 minutes before closing. My perspective has changed because Dr. Barber and his staff were incredible. A crown and filling were completed in less than 90 minutes. They were gentle and efficient. All future dental will be done here. They rock!

Dr. Barber did an amazing job

I was referred here by a coworker and so glad I was. The staff is absolutely amazing and kind. Dr. Barber did an amazing job filling a cavity for me and made it very easy and painless. Everybody from the front desk, assistants, to the hygienist care for each and every person that walks through their door. Would highly recommend them.
