Can the ugly and unnatural gum line over my crown be improved with a gum graft/new crown or any other treatment? (Photo)

Asked By:invictus88 in Germany

I got a crown on tooth 24. It was replaced twice over the last few months due to poor color match and margin showing. Even though the crown margin was shifted to the gum line after the last treatment two months ago, I am very unhappy and depressed with how my gum line looks. It is not inflamed, bit is puffy and dark. I also feel something is "wrong" on the cheek side. My dentist says it is ok since the crown is not my tooth. But I am depressed, and can't believe it is the best the modern dentistry can do.
