Q. I had a porcelain crown fited yesterday. The dentist was checking my bite and said when I close my teeth together, the crown should not sit ‘proud’ because this would damage the crown. He drilled off the excess of the crown in order for it to sit correctly. This unfortunately means, I have a crown and from underneath the metal post is clearly visible. I am worried about this. Should I have cause for concern? Can the crown be replaced if I am not too happy about the metal post showing through. The tooth in question is at the side of my mouth. Six tooth in from the front. I would value your advice please.
