Gums around the crown turning black is a common complaint received by dentists frequently. One possible reason for this darkening is the material that your crown is made of. Some of them are porcelain heat-fused metal substructures.
And the black line around the gum is a result of the lack of light that pass through the crown. Go see another doctor. The most common is the metal show-through from the crown.
