Dental crowns not settled. Gap between teeth (Photo)

Question

I got 4 crowns on my four frontal teeth and the gums are below the level of the end of the crown also I have a gap between two of my teeth. Is there anything that can be done to make my gums grow all the way down and make my smile better?

Miller Vieira Paula, DDS · Answer

I can see the gaps and the positioning of the crowns in your front teeth.
It seems that your gum tissue is receding slightly, leaving a visible gap between the crowns and the gumline. Unfortunately, gums don’t naturally grow back to cover this area on their own. However, there are a few options to improve the appearance:
• Gum Grafting: This procedure involves adding tissue to the receding gum areas. It can help cover the exposed area and give a more natural look, though it depends on your specific case and gum health.• Crown Length Adjustment or Replacement: Sometimes, crowns can be adjusted or replaced to create a better fit, reducing the visible gap and enhancing your smile.• Orthodontic Adjustment: In some cases, orthodontic treatment can help reposition teeth slightly, which may improve the overall alignment and aesthetics around the crowns.• Regular Dental Maintenance and Hygiene: Proper care and hygiene can help keep your gums healthy and prevent further recession.
A consultation with your dentist or a periodontist would be ideal to discuss these options in detail and determine the best approach for improving your smile.
