Q: Would you suggest gum-reducing surgery, and then crowns/veneers? I have some bonding now that is chipped and discoloring. Is a gum lift/grafting a smart choice before veneers/crowns?
A: Usually, the best way to do a case like you are describing is to have a well-qualified cosmetic dentist or prosthodontist work in conjunction with an experienced laser periodontist who uses multiple laser wavelength machines to ensure that the safest laser is used that will not damage any of the supporting structures in your mouth. In fact, ask to see pictures of cases that the cosmetic dentist and periodontist have completed. Then you can you see what you might expect to look like after your treatment.
