Is It Possible to Have a Crown Redone? Will It Mean I Need a Root Canal?

February 23, 2012
Asked By:Cyca in Bellevue, WA

I have two crowns that I don't like for cosmetic reasons on molars, is there any risk to have them redone? They are live teeth, if I redo then 3rd time is it like asking for a root canal? Also if the crown the lab creates doesn't satisfy my requirements can the dentist sent it back to have it made to my satisfaction? I have small teeth and so far crowns always come back too bulky compared to natural teeth, so if it comes in bulky can I ask to have it remade?
