Crown restoration complications

Had RCT in July 2006 for CTS; was successful, but did not start having problems until the permanent crown was put on Nov. 2006.  For 4 months have been unable to eat on the tooth or left side of mouth at all; experience burning after brushing; severe pain when attempting to eat on that side; biting tongue and inside of cheek when talking and swallowing; extreme tenderness around the crown area; feeling of expansion when warm liquids are in the mouth.  Extreme sensitivity to cold/heat/air.  Dentist has been very reluctant to remove crown; thinks time will solve the problems.  Have been suffering greatly; he thinks there is no infection and won't provide antibiotic.  X-rays reveal everything OK.  Crown has been sanded 3 times but still feel it is expanding.  I feel that I am allergic to either the metals or cement used; that mistakes in technique/procedure were made, but he refuses to admit same.  Have almost reached the end of the rope before filing complaint, but wanted to get opinions before doing so.  Can only eat on one side of mouth and teeth in that area are starting to hurt.   There is no fever, but slight swelling on face near tooth.  He calls the crown "a work of art" and does not want to remove it.   Other dentists don't want to get in the middle of it.  
Any opinions or suggestions?   Thanks.

I would venture to say that you need to have another opinion. It is unexceptable for you to be in this much discomfort. I am sure you can find a dentist that will give you an impartial opinion.

What makes you think that the dentist is responsible for YOUR problem?  Filing a complaint?  How can a dentsit be respsonsible for teh condition of your tooth?  Did he casue the decay? did he cause the large fillings?  Take responsibilit yfor your own problem...  The dentist is here to help you.....
