- Reverse crown lengthening procedure to fill gaps of lost gum tissue? Two (2) weeks ago I had crown lengthening on 2 teeth. One is in the front. I also has 2 implants placed in the back. My gums have receeded drastically over the years. I'm very upset because when the dentist did the crown lengthening she left large gaps in between my teeth. My gums are now gone, also making it difficult to speak correctly due to spaces.

I went to see another dentist and they said it was not even necessary. It also raised the gums around my implant which worries me alot. ... Visitor from VA (answer)

I was also told that the tooth needed a preventive root canal, but I declined this. ... Visitor from CA (answer)
