How does a dentist fix a crown that is too high? Will it hurt?

Halloweenminus10
I got a crown a year ago. It was a horrible and very painful experience. The dentist numbed my whole lower face except the spot where I was getting the crown. It took several hours and I was in so much pain. When she finally got it placed I was ready to get out of there! The crown is too high and I can't bite down all be way, but I've been too scared to go back. So my question is how will the dentist fix my crown exactly? Do they have to remove it? Will it hurt?
