How Long Does It Take for a Loose Crown to Recover After Cosmetic Dentistry?

I had cosmetic dentistry in which I put in 20 crowns. I have had to have multiple adjustments and am frustrated. My bottom 4 front teeth continue to have slight movement. I was hitting one of them and my dentist adjusted it. However, I still have the movement. I haven't had loose teeth prior. How long should it take for the loose crown to recover, or "settle in" ?

Loose Crown After Cosmetic Dentistry

Any dentist can do Cosmetic Dentistry. The question is, how much does the dentist know about occlusion (the way the upper and lower teeth meet eachother).

Teeth should NOT be loose after having proper cosmetic dentistry, if they were not loose to begin with.
