Can my crown be adjusted to stop bottom tooth hitting it?

A.PatricSep 22, 2018
Had crowns put on teeth 7-10 about 5 days ago. No problems with temps, but now my bottom tooth keeps hitting the back side of #8. Never had that problem before. Can my crown be adjusted to fix that problem? Will the crown need to be removed and cemented again?
