Gum Contouring in Preparation for Crowns
Dr Poulos may suggest gum contouring in preparation for having new crowns. During this procedure, gum and bone tissue can be carefully reshaped, which can be useful if you have a tooth that is decayed or which is broken off below the gum line and where there is insufficient structure for a new restoration. By exposing more of the natural tooth, Dr Poulos can fully restore your tooth while protecting it against any further damage.
