My new porcelain crown has a gap round it ..can I replace it?

Q. Hello i have just had 4 porcelain crowns fitted and one of them looks out of place and i still have a small gap around it, is it possible that my dentist can remove this one and replace it with another? H

A. Hi H, many thanks for your enquiry, this is a very simple problem to rectify. The dentist that has done the work, needs to remove the single crown which is out of place, take a new impression send it to the laboratory which the other crowns were made, he will then place a temporary crown on your tooth. A week later the new crown should arrive and this can be then fitted and all should be good. Hope this is helpful.

Hope this is helpful.
