It depend of how the gums around the crown will treated. If you need surgery of the gum called gingivectomy, unless the surgery is done using a laser, the surgery needs to be done weeks before you get the crown. If you don’t need a gingivectomy the gum will feel normal within couple of days.
Normally few days for the gum to adapt to the new crown
It may take about a week for your gums to heal after a crown.
