Not Getting Used to Dental Crown
by joe83, Jul 03, 2008 09:41PM
Hi, ever since I've broken my incisor to the right of my front incisor along the upper row of teeth, I have had a porcelain crown to restore the broken tooth.
However, the crown bonded to the tooth is not constructed as precisely as the lateral tooth on my left, thus I can feel the symmetrical difference in my mouth. It isn't really comfortable as it feels like theres a bulge of extra porcelain material as compared to my tooth on the left.
My question is, should I be getting used to the crown or should a crown be made as precise as the original tooth before it was broken?

If you don't feel comfortable with the restoration, going back to your dentist and address the issue is advised.
