I have a black line between my crown and my gum, what can I do to get it fixed?
Q.
I have undergone maxilofacial surgery 28 years ago when I was 21, but I have found over the past few years my teeth have moved quite significantly. I also have a crown at the front which has been replaced twice, the last time about 16 years ago, but I have a black line between that and my gum, I have been told by my dentist that nothing can be done to improve the look of it and that it can’t be replaced again. I have been investigating Invisalign and wondered if that might be an appropriate option for me, or if anything can be done about my crown, please can you advise, thanks.

I’m not sure Invisalign will help an exposed margin of a crown. it sounds like it needs either a new crown or removing and replacing with an implant or a bridge

At present I have a bridge over 5 from bottom teeth but because of severe bone loss at one point I think I need an oral bone graft before implants. can you give me more details Many thanks
