I have recently had a crown fitted, it feels much too big and my lip keeps rubbing on it.My dentist said I will get used to it but it sticks out further than my own teeth.How easy is it to have a crown removed and would the tooth underneath be pulled out?

My crown has been filed away and there is a gap between gum and tooth, is this normal?
Monday, March 14th, 2011Q.
My gold crown was filed down in the top centre of the tooth to make it fit better. The gold has been filed away leaving what looks like the cement or the filling (I had root canal). Is the crown still effective after its been filed (drilled) away like this please?
Also the crown does not meet the gum – ie i can feel a slight gap with my tongue. Is this normal?
Should I choose a better quality crown at a higher price or go for a cheap one?

I had a crown put on one of my molar teeth 23 years ago. It was slightly damaged 2years ago and my dentist advised me to have a replacement as there has been a small build up of plaque next to the damaged part. So I am having the old one taken off this week, but I don’t know which kind to have put on. I have been told that if I’d like a tooth coloured one I have two options. One would cost me £385, or a slightly lesser quality one would be £250. I am 51years old. Which do you think I should choose? Is the £385 crown so much better? Thank you.

i have a crown at the front of my teeth that needs replacing but i was considering having my teeth whitened would it be best to have the crown replaced before i have them whitened or after. i also hav e a tooth that has had a filling that has a slight crack and my dentist suggests having a plastic coating of some sort over it because he says the tooth would crumble if he drilled it anymore would a crown be better. thankyou for any help.
Whats the difference between fillings and crowns?
Thursday, March 10th, 2011Q.
Hi been to the dentist today as I have lost part of a filling on one of my back teeth – dentist has said needs a crown but would cost £198 as nhs charge 3 for a silver colouredcrown or £150 for private white composite filling??? Bit baffled so took the private route as cheaper? Why crown and not filling on nhs? Also had to pay half now for appointment in a month??? I’ve paid for services not yet received??? I wouldn’t do this for any other service so feel slightly conned?
