Will my gums grow back after putting crowns on my front teeth?

Question

4 days ago i got 4 crowns on the upper front teeth and after "glueing" the crowns, my dentist started very brutally with his tools to clean the rest of the cement, which went inbetween my teeth. This left me with destroyed gums and a small gap inbetween my front teeth. Not only that this is an aesthetic problem, but there is also sometimes air or saliva going through this gap while speaking, which annoys me a lot. The gap is small (around 1-2mm), but still visible when you come close to my teeth

I would give this a full two weeks to heal, then reassess with your dentist.  No need to worry at this point.

Paul Binon, DDS · Answer

This is common after getting a dental crown. Often, it may take up to 2 weeks for your gums to fully heal. If you’re still experiencing this problem at that point, you should talk to your dentist at once.

Hi:Normally gums heal with 1-2 weeks.  Unfortunatley without a picture it is difficult to give you accurate advice.Best,Dr. Maddahi
