I had a dental implant and crown placed. It's shorter than my other teeth. Can it be changed? Unhappy with my appearance (Photo)

Hi:There are two factors affecting the appearance:1.  Small crown2. Gum area is further down than the adjacent teeth.Both of the above concerns have to be addressed in order to have aesthetic results.Best,Dr. Maddahi

It looks like you have plenty of gum tissue over the implant though it is hard to judge without seeing a radiograph. That is great - usually we have the opposite problem - not enough gum! I think there are two things that may be done to improve the look of your canine. First, if the lower tooth is in the way, see if your orthodontist would be willing to do a quick limited treatment to tip it back slightly so it is symmetrical with the other side. You could also consider reshaping the enamel if it is not far off and forego more braces. This will allow the top tooth to be longer without hitting. It is important that the bite be correct because implants do not "like" being hit side-to-side. On the top end, a little cosmetic gum shaping to expose more of the fake tooth will help lend the appearance that it is more alike than different. This may also give your restoring dentist enough room to change the angle and color of the crown to better match the other side.

Best of luck - these impacted teeth cases are always difficult!
