Should You See the Tooth Under the Crown?

September 17, 2013
Asked By:Utgrad

I recently had a crown put on a tooth. Some of the tooth underneath remains exposed. I asked the dentist before it was permanently glued about it and was told it is okay and would allow me to clean the area better. The more I think about it, the more concerned I feel about it. Is it "good crown fit" to have the tooth exposed at the gum line?
