Permanent crown placed on yesterday.Went to work afterwards,everything was ok with the pain until numbness went away.When I bite I feel my crown & I'm in pain.But the pain feels like its coming from my bottom tooth,crown was placed on top tooth.Not sure if the crown is too tight causing the pain. My crown was also filed down too much by the dentist assistant or chipped from her dropping it on the floor.Now I'm afraid the porcelain is going to continue to chip. Please help,what should I do?

It's possible to bond that tooth again to try for a better color match, but there is such a large composite filling there now that I don't think it's worth it long term. More bonding might work for a while, but at some point I think that tooth will need a crown.
If you are not happy with your existing crowns, You can go for EMAX crowns. Yes, EMAX crowns give more esthetic looks and that's why it's ideal for front teeth.
As I stated before your problem originates in the temporomandibular joint.you had this problem before your crowns went in, in fact, you've had this problem for years and instead of typing,it should be discussed because I would spend too long typing.please contact the moderator so that we can...
