Functional Crown Lengthening Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure performed to expose an adequate amount of tooth structure in preparation for placing a crown(s) (cap(s)) on a tooth or teeth. This procedure allows the general dentist to place a biologically compatible restoration, thus diminishing the chance of periodontal problems around the crown(s) in the future. The crown extension procedure can often enhance esthetics when performed in the upper front area.
