Adjusting A Flipper



I'm afraid I screwed up badly. I have a flipper for tooth 11 which I
haven't been wearing because it's still healing. When I got it and
went for my checkup with the oral surgeon, he saw that it was very
high on the gum and shaved it down. It looked great and met the
gumline perfectly. My gum has since receded and now there is a space
between the top of the tooth and my gum. It will be another 7 months
or so before I have the implanted tooth actually in. Now what do I do?
My general dentist might be annoyed that I had the oral surgeon do
anything to it although he didn't express that...he even further
modified it and polished it. I do know that the lab guarantees it for
a year (I called them) but if they know it was modified, will they
still redo it? Or blame all of us? Also, if the lab won't, can the
dentist add bonding to a flipper tooth?
