Is there a way to cover unsightly black line?

Q. Hi, I have a front incisor crown but over the years my gum has receded and exposed an ugly black line. Can you recommend the best way of dealing with this? Is there any way of ‘filling in’ or covering the unsightly black line or would I need to have the whole crown replaced? Many thanks Lucy,
A. I would recommend a new all porcelain crown – the black line is the underling metal of your existing crown showing
