Ill fitting CEREC crown feels too bulky: can dentist shave down portion of the tooth facing the inside of my mouth?

tom1920Jul 20, 2018
I had a CEREC crown made and cemented yesterday. It feels fat on the inside, like a bubble, and it is rubbing my tongue when I talk. I have had many crowns, and none of them have ever felt like this. This feels more like a temporary crown or a piece of gum stuck on my tooth. Is is possible for the dentist to shave down the portion of the tooth facing the inside of my mouth?

It isn’t normal for a dental crown to look crooked. I would recommend expressing your concerns to your dentist. Most likely, this can be corrected with a minor adjustment.
