I have 1 implant and 3 crowns. And I hate the gum line on the crowns, I feel it looks so fake. I want to replace them but I want to make sure I explain what I want, as to not have to do this again. I also think they are bulky.I went for a consult and the guy said what I have is actually a good job. And to not mess with it. I want them to be less masculine and appear as they are real especially at the gum line.
