  7. CAN MY CROWN BE ADJUSTED...

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

September 22, 2018
Asked By:A.Patric in Atlanta, GA

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?

Can a 4 year old silver crowns be changed to white crowns?
Paul Binon, DDS says:

You can definitely replace your silver crown with a porcelain tooth-colored crown. This will provide a more natural looking result that blends in seamlessly with your smile. However, if your current silver crown is still functioning properly, you should weigh your desire for beautiful aesthetics...

Uneven bite due to new crown? Please help. Thanks.
Anthony Mobasser, DDS, DMD says:

Unfortunately once the crown or porcelain is adjusted, it will be very hard to add porcelain back on. You will benefit if you have an uneven bite to see your dentist or an expert dentist to do a bite analysis and see if there are interference in your bite, or do you have a stable bite? Best of luck

I have CareSource Medicaid. Will it cover fixing my teeth with crowns or replacements? (Photo)
Amber Garcia, DDS says:

You would need to call CareSource directly to see the specifics of what they cover. In Texas, Medicaid doesn't cover dental services for adults. I'm sure of the rules in other states.
