Q.

Hi Doctor Moore. I recently had a crown fitted by my dentist. Recently as in less than two months ago.The crown was fitted to a tooth which had a filling due to decay. I was still subject to some pain in the tooth with the filling and was also not happy about the filling as it was extremely noticeable. The new crown which has been fitted is a completely different shade to my other teeth, sits proud of them making them look crooked and is also showing metal at the gumline.It is the second tooth from centre on the top row. It has also been filed down quite substantially under the crown. What would you advise? It’s making me feel very self-conscious. Thank you for your time, I eagerly await your response!
