Placing the new crown should not be more than 10 days max. In some cases we had to deliver the final permanent crown the next day, which is very possible. Of course the ceramists usually charge an extra rush charge depending on the complexity of fabricating the permanent crown! Usually less than 10 days there is extra charges that may apply.
In my office we use CEREC to make crowns in a single visit. Since your dentist does not have this technology, it is necessary to take a mold, place a temporary crown, and have a dental lab make the crown. The process usually takes 2-4 weeks. Your dentist should be able to tell you. Anything longer than 4 weeks is too long.

While it is unfortunate that the crown broke, it is not likely that fault lies with the dentist. There are so many factors involved that "blame" is hard to apply. Finding a new dentist is up to you, but if trust is broken then perhaps you should move on.

It sounds like you have a Porcelian Fused to Metal crown on the tooth and the gum receded leaving the gray area. The best solution would be to have the crown replaced with an all porcelain crown to precent the dark gray area from being visible. Talk to a local dentist about your options
New advances in porcelain crowns can allow for thin but strong material on the lingual (zirconia) and esthetic ceramic on the facial (labial). Lithium dislocate crowns may also work well here. Newer cements also have an inherent bond to tooth structure. Make sure you see a dentist who is...
