New crown is crooked and feels too high? (Photo)

July 20, 2016
Asked By:bornslippy in England, United Kingdom

I've just had 3 new crowns inserted on my top front teeth. One (front left) looks crooked and my bottom tooth is hitting it. I complained about the it being too high and the dentist (after trying to rectify it without success) suggested waiting a week to see if the tooth moves. But only after I returned home have I realised how crooked it looks too. Any advice?
