See your dentist: If the tooth presents a cosmetic concern then I think the margin of the crown should be placed right at the gum line or 1/2 mm below. Another option is to address the gum recession. Ask your dentist for more information and treatment options.

Recession: Gums generally do not regrow once they have receded. There are both cosmetic dental and periodontal (gum) procedures that can improve esthetics. Talk with your Dentist. Consultation with Periodontist may be in order.
