Will crown lengthening procedure affect in having an implant?
Q. I had a crown on my front incisor, next to big tooth, and the tooth broke at gum level. I have had a root filling and a post put in with a temporary crown. My dentist wants to do a crown lengthening procedure and fit a new crown. Is this the best solution and will it affect my being able to have an implant if there was a problem with the tooth in the future as I understand they remove some bone? Thanks
A. As long as there is enough bone left after the crown lengthening an implant will still be OK.
