Is my crown too big? (Photo)

August 14, 2018
Asked By:FFaustino in Dublin, OH

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.
