Does my crown look like there is a gap? (Photo)

September 6, 2023
Asked By:jw7868 in Vancouver, Washington

My crown was placed and glued in place and then I noticed there was a chip in the corner which the dentist filled with composite. Do the margins of the crown look properly sealed? Or does it not reach the gum line? Do I need a new crown or will the composite that fixed the chip work just as well? What are my options?
