You should wait **6 to 12 weeks** after a gum graft before getting a crown. This allows the gum tissue to fully heal and stabilize. Your dentist will monitor your healing and advise the best time for the crown placement.
Typically, following gingival grafting for receding gums you can have a crown placed on the tooth 6-8 weeks after the gingival graft.
After a gum graft, it's essential to allow sufficient time for healing before proceeding with further dental work like crown placement. Typically, the healing process can vary, but it's generally recommended to wait at least a few weeks to a few months. During this period, the gum tissue stabilizes and fully integrates with the surrounding area, which is crucial for the success of the crown. It's best to follow the specific guidance of your dental professional, as they will consider the details of your individual case and healing progress.
Typically, you'll need to wait several months (around 3-6 months) for gum graft healing before a crown can be placed. This allows adequate time for the grafted tissue to integrate fully.
Typically we restore teeth after clearance from the periodontist, which can be as soon as 2 weeks after gum graft procedure.
Ideally, you wait a couple months if the tooth is in the area of the graft. Dr. Totonchi
