Crown doesn't cover my whole tooth. Should I ask for a new crown? Is this normal? (Photo)

Question

I have other crowns that go to my gum line with no gap whatsoever. This new crown does not and my tongue keeps wanting to touch it because it's sharp, I feel the gap!! Not to mention at times it's sensitive to cold and when I yawn. Should I ask for a new crown? I mean is this normal?

Hi:The fact your crown is sharp, it should be polished.  However as long as the margin of the tooth and the crown is sealed this can be ok.  You should also share your concern about sensitivity with your dentist.Best,Dr. Maddahi
