Metal Line Showing at Gums from Implant Crowns? (photo)

October 4, 2012
Asked By:Toronto9365

I got a crown & implants — last 3 teeth upper back. The implant crown is a double for stability. Now a fairly substantial visible metal line shows along my gums when I laugh — clearly indicating they are fake. They appear shorter than the other side. I thought they were supposed to look just like real teeth. I paid a LOT of money for these & am really disappointed. Is there something that can be done to improve their appearance. Should I pay for it? Other teeth need work. Should I go elsewhere?
