Can old crown silver at gum line be covered? (photos)

June 8, 2016
Asked By:eyes4youtoday in Edmonton, AB

I have a back molar that shows when I smile and the edge of old silver crown near gum line is showing. I had tooth filling put on it and it lasted 8 years - when we didn't think it would make six months. There is a small amount still hanging on in the middle of the tooth but when I smile it looks like I have pepper in my teeth. Should the same procedure again or is there some other means of providing coverage along the crown line of that back tooth"
