Q.
I had two (2) caps installed at the dentist. One feels ok, but the other has a slight gap between the top of the cap and the gums. The gums just barely touches the top of the cap so as a result, the gums just above the cap stays red, inflamed and is hard to brush because it’s painful. Thanks in advance for and information.,

Do I have to put up with the gap for the rest of my life or can something be done about it?

Q.
Dear Dr Butt I have a gap in my front teeth which has happened over the last three years due to a problem with my gums. I have asked my dentist if he could fill the gap and on the last visit he said he could fill it with bonding. He wouldn’t advise veneers or porcelain as they would be too heavy and may weaken the tooth as the density of the bone had diminished due to the gum disease. I visited him today and he now advises that I dont have the bonding done as he feels the gum is still inflamed. I am really upset as this gap looks ugly. Please can you advise if there is a way round this or do I have to put up with this gap for the rest of my life? I am 58 years of age. Kind regards.
