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 :)

Answer: Options That is correct. As long as the margin (where the crown meets the tooth) is closed up then it should not be a concern at all. You can absolutely bring it up to the dentist, but I am guessing since it has been cemented already that the margin is closed. Sometimes wearing a temporary for a few weeks can inflame the tissue around the new crown and within a few days/weeks the tissue rebounds to give you a good clean covered margin. This really isn't a big deal looking at the picture as long as its closed especially since its on the back side of the crown, undetectable when you smile. Best wishes
