Can I actually get a crown that feels more like how my tooth did?

Asked By:hsp701 in Florida, FL

I just got the permanent crown today on my front bottom tooth and it feels pretty bulky (mainly in the back, the front part looks and feels fine). Dentist said that it’s supposed to be that way because the tooth is so small and the crown protects it, but the temporary crown felt smaller than this. If anything, I expected the permanent crown to feel more natural. Is this really normal or can I actually get a crown that feels more like how my tooth did?
