Do I need gum surgery

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

Q.
Hi, I have had root canal treatment on my front upper 1 and 2 teeth. These teeth are now discoloured.Upper 1 left is a crown(done abroad). This crown is too thick and too big, it goes high into my gum, it`s bigger than my teeth. I have small teeth. Now I`m having crowns put in. The dentist suggested gum surgery to get my front 4 gums to the desired lenght, and than having the crowns placed. I dread the thought ot having gum surgery. Is there any other way out of this? Please note that I`m 25.

Dr Bohara is doing my teeth in Loughborough

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Q.
Dear Dr. Solanki, I`m 25 and dr. Bohara is doing my teeth in Loughborough. The problem is that the gum on upper left 1 is raised due to a too big a crown put previosly by someone else. My teeth are quite small, I have lots of gum showing. For him to do the best of my teeth he suggested gum surgery. My question is can laser gum reshaping do it, as there`s no way on earth I`m having oldfashioned gum surgery. Thank you
