I had 8 upper veneers done. The purpose was to elongate my natural teeth at the Biting Edge so they show more when i smile/talk. My dentist did the opposite procedure: lifted my gumline UPWARDS 3mm+. 1.Does gum ever grow back after laser crown lengthening? 2.Can a gum graft lower the gumline back to the original state? 3.Is it possible to graft over a veneer? PS. The dentist wont return any calls.I am filing a complaint to the royal college.

Sometimes some of the graft will get exposed and starts sloughing off, but if the site is not disturbed , you will get good resultsPlease follow post op instructions provided to you by your surgeon.
It all depends ....If the bone in between these teeth is healthy and in proper position, this tissue might fill in over time If there is bone loss , depending on the distance from this bone to the contact between your front teeth , this black traiangle might never filll in ...I would give it...
It is better to treat your gum recession as soon as possible as it is severe. The gum is also inflamed which makes it more fragile and more prone to recession.
Also the more Severe the recession, the more severe the bone loss in that site, which will limit the success rate of gum grafting .....
