Asked By:kakamall in Jakarta

I just had my crown done last week. I notice there is a gap between the crown and gumline. I google & there is somebody saying that the gap is OK as long as it is a closed edge? Should i complain to the dentist? I don't want to re-do the crown, what solution can you give? Thank you in advance :)
