Before After (you're welcome Nosti) This is wonderful! Seems like you will be able to avoid gum surgery here? In my experience that is not a major concern. Uniformity in porcelain is helpful for translucency and show through, but as long as there is at least minimal thickness everywhere you are typically fine. Of course, depends on the tech and the fabrication method.
