I’m not happy with the dental crowns that were made, what can I do if they’re still not right after another fitting?

Thursday, May 6th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have had 2 sets of crowns during 39 year period for front top teeth and am now in process of having new ones. I have always had a gap between my teeth and the crowns have been made slightly wider to accommodate this. At the fitting today of these crowns they looked like spades – more width than depth and as dentist put it “characterization” on them (looked like shrivelled prunes instead of smooth teeth). I refused them and insisted a new impression was made and to remove the “characterization” that she insisted she paid extra for. This was NHS, as my others were. The previous sets looked fantastic but these are horrific. If when it comes to fitting them and they still don’t right what can I do?,
A.
Your dentist has, by the sound… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
