A member asked:
Does the gum after being pushed up by temporary crowns recover around the permanent ones to close aroundthe crown and reduce the gaps?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sometimes: Temporary crowns can be irritating to the gums because they are not as thin at the gum line as the final crown will be. As a result they collect more plaque and can irritate the gums. This will resolve when the final crown is placed and with good oral hygiene. If the gingiva (gums) have actually receded away from the temporary see your dentist. This may not resolve.

It should: Depending on the time frame, the gum tissue should recover and fill in and cover the edges of a new crown. If it does not, i would go back to my dentist and see if there are some alternatives- hopefully not a new crown. I would massage the gum toward the edge of the crown. The crown may have been left shorter, if you have had a history of gum problems, so that it is easier for you to keep clean.
