I have a question regarding crown lengething. I had the procedure done when I had my wisdom teeth removed on a back molar and a temporary was placed on that tooth. Due to insurance issues I was not able to get the perminate till after the new year. How long does it take for the area to heal and then have to do the procedure again? Or once the temporary crown was on it should have been the appropriate length?

All that should have to be done is remove the temporary and cement the permanent crown on unless the final impression hasn't be taken yet. The crown lengthening procedure should not have to be done again.
