Should I have crowns reglazed?

August 24, 2016
Asked By:Mallory1976 in Dothan, AL

While wearing porcelain crowns with temporary cement, dentist did some adjusting on the back that resulted in the glaze being removed. The glaze is still on the front of crowns. Will the glaze being removed from the back make the front glaze come off? Should I have them reglazed? Should I be responsible for the lab cost to reglaze them?
