Uneven gum line with new front teeth crowns (Photo)

Hi:Normally uneven gum line is addressed prior to placement of the new crowns.  Please go back to your dentist and voice your concern.Best,Dr. Maddahi

When having cosmetic dentistry performed it is important to asses the gumline first.  The gumline gives the tooth its size, shape, and character.  The gumline can be altered through either a gum lift or gum replacement if need be.  Once the gumline is even and symmetrical, the crowns or veneers can be placed.  In this case, the gumline can be still be corrected but one or more of the crowns will likely need to be replaced.

The uneven gumline should have been addressed before the crowns were done.I suggest meeting with your dentist to discuss your options. These restorations are meant to last a long time so if you are unhappy I would bring it up.

When planning for a smile makeover like yours its important to consider every aspect of the mouth to get a good result. In your case the gums are uneven. In cases like this a treatment known as crown lengthening can be planned before the crowns are made where the bone is reduced around that tooth to make the gums even. This can be done after but in your case that short tooth may have to have the crown made to get the result you desire.
