Soft Tissue Replacement for Teeth Implants? Invisalign? (photo)

i got 4 teeth implants? 2 on each side( 5th and 6th from the middle on the upper left and 6th and 7th on upper right). after implants were done had soft tissue replacement on left side, was very not successful. Now on one side metal part of implants are visible, on another implants are higher than others, so it doesn't look natural. For the first surgery doctor took my tissue from up of mouth. Don't want to do same especially if is useless. heard about non-human material. also need invisalign

Soft tissue graft around implants
