Mt tooth looks shorter as my gum has shrunk

Q. I got crowns done about two years ago on 4 front teeth but 1 of the front crowns on my front tooth the gum shrunk and the tooth looks shorter than the other one what can i do to fix this.

A.

Hi

Your options are to get the crowns redone. In some case you may require a gum graft, but it is difficult to say without looking at the case.

I Hope ths helps.
