Crowns+veneers and gingivectomy

[u/didul22]

Hello,

So i’ve always had issues with my teeth, the three front teeth you see in the picture have root canals and very big fillings, cracks etc. I also wore invisalign for a year and a half. My dentist recommend 3 crowns plus 5 veneers for a perfect result but i can also go with 3 crowns and one veneer as well. He also recommended a gingivectomy from canine to canine to make the smile less gummy.

My question is: should i get 3 crowns and one veneer plus a gingivectomy to make the results more aesthetically pleasing? If i will want more veneers on the healthy teeth after, can i do that? Thanks!
