I’m Not Comfortable with my Crowns. Can They Be Altered?

Tuesday, May 12th, 2015
Q.

I have paid approximately £10,000 for most of my teeth to have crowns.
The bottom teeth were done last and I had several sets of temporaries to get the bite correct. The bottom finals have gone in but the front 4 teeth are too tall, they are predominant and quite apparent whilst I’m talking. They also point forward quite a lot. This is nothing like the temporaries that were fitted. I’m not comfortable with these teeth. I had them done 10 days ago. What do I do if the dentist makes it difficult for me to change after explaining? I’d really appreciate an opinion from yourself Andrew.

My Porcelain Crowns Are Too Big For My Liking. Can I Have Them Shaped And Polished Without Damaging Them?

Thursday, January 9th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr. Moore. I recently got porcelain crowns on my front two teeth. I think they look a little big. Can they be shaped now that they are in place? I have always hated my two front teeth because they looked too big and I would preferably like them much smaller. I was hoping that the crowns would have made them look smaller. If they try and shape them now will it dull them and is there any chance of them cracking or breaking? Any advice you can provide will be very helpful and I look forward to your reply. Thank you.
