Can a cemented crown be altered? (photos)

Question

I had a crown placed recently for cosmetic reasons, as well as for strength of the tooth. the temporary wasn’t the best color but it was the right shape and size.. I now have the permanent crown but I didn’t realize while I was at the dentist that it is so bulky. Its also too long. It’s giving me a lisp and my bottom teeth hit it when I chew. My natural and temp tooth did not protrude. I approved it, but it was hard to see while there.

Call your dentist and have them take a look.  It could be adjusted some I'm sure. If not enough to make you happy they might have to replace it.

Hello. If when you chewing the crown is crashing with your antagonist tooth due to is larger than the normal you have to go with your doctor to adjust it.

Bjorn Melander, DDS, FAGD · Answer

The crown can be adjusted to an extent. Adjusting the length is pretty easy. But reducing the bulkiness may be more difficult, and may require a new crown instead.

Maybe  can be modified to correct the shape of the crown, in fact it is much bigger and can not be bigger or be higher when biting, being higher than other teeth can even fracture a tooth.
