Hello there,I usually like for my patients to wait about 4 weeks after having this type of minor gum surgery, if the surgery is done with a traditional scalpel.  However, if done with laser surgery, it's generally okay to be fitted for the crowns the same day.  The most important thing, is to pick an excellent cosmetic dentist that 
knows what they're doing, since you are considering altering your 2 
front teeth.  Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have 
more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMD

In the usual course of healing, it is better to wait 2 weeks at least following crown lengthening unless it was done by laser. There is a chance of shrinkage of the gum tissue further after just one week.  If time is not the issue, it would be better to wait.
