I got crowns on my upper 6 front teeth just today, and the temporary crowns were much better than this. These crowns are huge compared to my real teeth and the temporary. And they are tight in my mouth. Im feeling like I made a mistake getting crowns. I only got them because of discoloration of some of my front teeth. One was turning yellow. One had a small brown mark. At least they were comfortable and natural. What can I do about these crowns? Can I use temporary crowns as real crowns?

Answer: Dental Crowns Sorry to hear that you are having issues with your permanent crowns. From your description, it sounds like the bite is off on the crowns. I would recommend going back to your dentist asap to have the bite adjusted. If the crowns still do not feel right after the bite adjustment, then your dentist might have to remake crowns to adjust the bite, contacts and thickness of the crowns. If the crowns have to be remade, it is best to have them temporarily cemented for a few days to make sure you are comfortable with them before having them permanently cemented.Hope this helps

Answer: Uncomfortable crowns It's unfortunate that you are having problems and concerns with your new crowns. I suggest returning to your dentist and discussing your problems. Temporaries can't be worn long term, but once you have a set of temporaries that you love your dentist can ask that the permanent crowns be made exactly like the temporaries. Prior to having the permanent crowns permanently seated I suggest wearing them with temporary cement. This allows the dentist to remove the crown to make changes until you are pleased. I hope this information helps steer you in the right direction.
