Yes, you can remove the crown and get it replaced with another. I would go to a dentist to find out if the crown looked fine or not. Its also possible that there is some injury to the pulp of the tooth causing the pain as well. If that is the case, then the tooth would need a root canal which can be done through the crown and a new crown may not need to be made.
