Hi, My 2 front teeth are dead, and I've had veneers for 12 years. One of them came off and could not be put back on. My new dentist thought that we should do a crown lengthening to give them more to grab onto/hide the darkened gum color from my dead teeth, whiten the teeth, and do new veneers (in October). Now my gum line looks uneven to the left of my left front tooth. The gum between my 2 front teeth hasn't really grown back fully. Is this a problem? Will the new teeth look ok? Thank you!

You have stated that the tooth had a post and crown already. If that is the case there is no way the tooth can be sensitive to cold. I would check to make sure that it is not an adjacent tooth that is the problem.
If there is the bleeding from the root after post and core with crown fell off, most likely there is a fracture. Usually these situations require extraction of the root, and later replacement with implant supported restoration or a bridge.
