Crown moved? had five root canals and crowns performed two months ago. (Photo)

Question

I I have no discomfort, and eat lots of tough food. But I am sure that two crowns in the front moved. I do not remember the tooth / crown at an angle. They looked perfect after the dental procedure? What could be the reason? And how is it remedied?

Hi:In my experience teeth or crowns usually move for two particular reasons:1.  CLenching or grinding2.  Gum disease.  Loss of boneBest,Dr. Maddahi

Given the picture, your best case scenario is the crown has come loose from the underlying tooth structure. However, it is most likely the tooth has fractured at the crown/tooth junction. You need to see a dentist immediately to avoid any further damage.
