There are numerous reasons why a crown may not fit and EVERY DENTIST who ever practiced dentistry has had crowns come back from the lab that didn't fit perfectly. The good news is that your dentist recognized that and is taking the effort to correct the problem. Shows your dentist has your best interest in mind and is a man of ethics and principle!
