Do I Really Need the Crown Lengthening?

hannah A.
I recently had root canal done on tooth #19 ( it was a broken tooth ) , after which I returned to my dentist to start the crown procedure, I am now told I need crown lengthening for the crown to work becuse there is not enough room between the tooth and bone? I am terrified to continue. my endodentist agreed with the diagnosis and says he can do the crown lengthening , should I get another opinion? can the endodentist safely do the procedure ? how much pain will I be in?
