There is a gap between my dental implants and my gums, is this normal?

Q.

I have recently had implants to two front teeth. The problem is when smiling I have a high lip line and because the teeth don’t actually enter the gums there are small gaps which when smiling my friends say look like black areas instead of seeing pink gums. Is this right or should they have rebuilt up the gums to look more natural. Also I feel saliva building up and blowing through the gaps. Surely this cant be right.

Would gum regeneration be possible to make gums look natural?

January 3rd, 2012
Q.
Hello, Hope you don’t mind these questions…. A few years ago I had 2 teeth knocked out, top central incisor and the lateral next to it. I had implants placed but had lost a bit of gum in the area due to the long process. I have had the implants now a few years, and whilst I think they look ok, the gum above them is very dark and receded, compared to the rest of my healthy pink gum. Is there anything that can be done to repair/regenerate gum in this area? I cant find much information on such a procedure and it does seem complicated now that I have the implants in place. Also aesthetically I am left with a black hole in between the implants where gum should be. Also, an odd question, but would there be a difference in fees to see you at your practice in pangbourne rather than london? Also Im a healthy 24 year old male with no other teeth problems. ,
