Crowns put on wrong teeth, if they were mixed up is there anything that can be done about it? (photos)
Doug Jopling, DDS says:

Go talk to your dentist about this. It looks like they fit into your teeth and are not mixed up. An x Ray would show this is correct. The longer tooth crown can easily be filed, shaped and adjusted so that it looks more like the adjacent tooth.

Would an inlay be an appropriate choice for a tooth with a root canal? And what material would be best for a back molar?
Kourosh Maddahi, DDS says:

Hi: The best restoration to protect the tooth after a root canal is a crown or onlay not an inlay.  The cusps have to be protected against any fracture due to brittleness of the tooth after root canal. Best, Dr. Maddahi
