2. What you are agreeing to

Proposed treatment

When decay or a fracture extends to or below the gum, there is not enough sound tooth above the bone for a crown to be made and to seal properly. Crown lengthening lifts the gum and removes a small amount of gum and bone around the tooth so that more of it is exposed. It is also used to even out a gum line that shows unevenly when smiling.

Material risks and limitations

The tooth will look longer afterward, and a dark triangle or space can open between it and the tooth beside it.
Sensitivity of the exposed root to cold, sweet, and brushing — sometimes lasting.
The root surface is now exposed and is more prone to decay than enamel; it needs careful cleaning and, often, fluoride.
The tooth may feel slightly looser because it is supported by less bone.
Bone is removed from around the neighboring teeth as well, since bone must be recontoured evenly. Their gum level and appearance may change too.
Pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, and stitches.
Healing takes time and the gum keeps settling; the final crown usually cannot be fitted for some weeks, and in the front of the mouth longer, so the final appearance is predictable.
Even after crown lengthening, the tooth may prove unrestorable and need removing.

Reasonable alternatives

Orthodontic extrusion to bring the tooth up instead, removing the tooth and replacing it with an implant or bridge, a different restoration, or no treatment.
