Does my crown look like there is a gap? (Photo)

Question

My crown was placed and glued in place and then I noticed there was a chip in the corner which the dentist filled with composite. Do the margins of the crown look properly sealed? Or does it not reach the gum line? Do I need a new crown or will the composite that fixed the chip work just as well? What are my options?

In theory, composite does not bond to porcelain very strongly and the composite that has been added by your dentist may fall out but of you do not have senstivity and brush that area properly, that tiny gap does not create problem.
