Do Dentists Typically Make Adjustments for Upper Front Crowns by Drilling Down Bottom Front (Older) Crowns? (photo)

Sadly, yes it is. But, it does not make the Procedure correct. In most cases when opposing teeth are adjusted, the dentist or lab tech did not do something correctly. In some instances, the patients bite is worn, or the teeth are so tight, there really is no room for crowns. In some cases other procedures may be necessary prior to the restorative you want.

We try not to but sometimes we must. In most cases the dentist will explain what they are doing and why good luck

Getting the bite correct often involves working on BOTH the upper and lower teeth. Usually, this process should be done mostly while still in the temporary crown stage.
