When my dentist fit my crown the bite was off. Lo and behold it did not fit. When he fit it he took off all the 'point' and left a hole in the crown. It is sensitive to room temp water and my husband says it looks like someone threw a piece of bondo in my mouth. It is flat shapeless and ugly. What should I do?

A stained restoration may need to be replaced due to decay. However, if a restoration has stained and does not have decay, it may be polished/buffed with polishing discs to revitalize it. This will help the restoration to blend naturally with the tooth again and improve the overall aesthetics.
First i will take care of the gum inflammation, gingivitis can make everything looks worse than what it is. The are many types of porcelain restorations than can hide discoloration, dark teeth and existing metal posts. A well trained cosmetic dentist, can use dental materials to hide...
I would wait until ortho is done before getting into that. If the molar has a band on it for braces, it should be ok with the filling that was placed following the root canal. The bite and contacts will keep changing with braces so from alot of angles it's better to wait.
