You have two options:Option #1: Get veneers without a gum graft. Your teeth will appear a tad bit longer at the top, but if you do not have a very gummy smile, then it will not matter much. I think veneers alone may work great in you case. Option #2: You could get a gum graft, then veneers, but I don't think your gums are that bad. However, I am not able to see whether you have a gummy smile or not. I hope this helps. Follow me on RealSelf if you have more questions.
hi:) Your first step is to find out WHY you have recessed gums. If you just move forward with veneers or any other option, it will come back.

Hope this helps

In your case, I would probably recommend braces. If you do not want braces, you may need to get you front tooth pulled, in order to line up your mid-line. Pulling perfectly healthy teeth in the front upper jaw is not the best thing for you in the long term, but it would fix your issue for ri...
You can absolutely have veneers done that look natural and that you love! Take some photos to your dentist of your old teeth, and let him/her know that you want them changed to look like your natural teeth. You can also see another dentist to have this done. My suggestion is to make sure yo...
