How long does it take a porcelain fused to metal crown to adjust

Q. I got a porcelain fused to metal crown about 5 months ago and I have a couple of questions. I was looking at it today and I saw this white line between where the metal and porcelain meet. What is that? Also there is a black horizontal line in the middle of my crown on the porcelain part. It isn’t at the gum line, what could this be? Also how long does it take a crown like this to adjust because my gums are still sensitive around it? Thanks!

A. I’m not sure what these lines are without seeing it. Perhaps you should go back to your dentist for him to check it as it should have settled down by now.
