Is my crown too big? (Photo)

FFaustinoAug 14, 2018
I just got my crown on an implant and I feel like it's too big. The feeling on the back of the crown if that I have a big piece of gum attached to it. Is it normal? I don't care on how it looks, but it's very uncomfortable. The dentist asked to wait a few weeks as I didn't have any tooth there for a while it can be only a feeling more than a problem. Not very happy with this.

Hi:This could be part of a normal healing, however, its best to go back to your dentist and have the extraction site reevaluated.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Hi and thank you for your question. The first step would be to adjust the bite and have new Xrays taken. Best of luck!

Hi, You should go see your dentist immediately to see if they can still save the tooth and what the underlying issue is.
