I found your post to be informative, but I am curious about what happened after your last post. I am sorry about your disappointment with your veneers... but I have veneers that I am extremely happy with on an aesthetic level, but I am now considering having a crown lengthening procedure because, like you, I have a width impingement which is causing discomfort in the gum region above a couple of my veneers. You mention in your second to last post that your perio recommended a crown lengthening, and so I'm curious as to whether or not you followed through with it. And if so, how were the results? Did it help the aesthetics? Did it help the comfort?
I am afraid it will look funny, and not really help this feeling that is bothering me. I could be wrong (I hope I am wrong!), but I don't want to just do this surgical procedure because my doctors don't know what else to do.
General word to the wise: Dentists and periodontists are just people like you and me. We want to trust them to be essentially all-knowing and able to fix everything thats wrong with our mouths. Often they can work wonders, but just like you and me, they can be wrong and/or not fully understand the complexity of individual human bodies, despite their extensive education. Trust your gut and don't take these people to be miracle working gods.
