Crown Lengthening Poway CA

Crown Lengthening (or crown exposure) is required when your tooth needs a new crown or other restoration. The edge of that restoration is deep below the gum tissue and not accessible. It is also usually too close to the bone or below the bone.

The procedure involves adjusting the level of the gum tissue and bone around the tooth in question to create a new gum-to-tooth relationship. This allows us to reach the edge of the restoration, ensuring a proper fit to the tooth. It should also provide enough tooth structure so the new restoration will not come loose in the future. This allows you to clean the edge of the restoration when you brush and floss to prevent decay and gum disease. The procedure takes approximately one hour.

When the procedure is completed, sutures, and a protective bandage are placed to help secure the new gum-to-tooth relationship. You will need to be seen in one or two weeks to remove the sutures and evaluate your healing.

Dr. Rubinoff and his whole staff are friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I came in for a crown lengthening surgery which required multiple visits. Each time Dr. Rubinoff was patient and took the time to answer my questions and make me feel at ease with what was going on. His team treated me with such care, and I will gladly return, and seek out this dental office for any follow-up procedures if needed. Thank you, Dr. Rubinoff and team!!

I have been going to Dr. Rubinoff for several years. He has done my implants with great results. He also did a crown lengthening. All have been successful. He is thorough, professional and caring. The staff is courteous and professional and helpful. They explain all finances so you have a clear idea of what your responsibility. Of all dentists I went to he is the best.

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Rubinoff. He is very knowledgeable and makes sure the procedure is perfect before he releases you back to your dentist. He takes time answering all your questions and never makes you feel uneasy about asking questions. I will definitely come back for procedures I might need in the future.

Overall efficient service with no issues. I had to get a crown lengthening surgery and was referred to Rubinoff. Also liked that Friday appts were available for my procedure. Lots of dental offices are closed on fridays but this is the most convenient time for me.
