Reshaping/filing down from crowns & composite resin. (Photo)

Asked By:tabithaniquole in North Adams, MA

So both my front teeth have crowns on them, I've had them for about a year, I never really payed attention to the way they looked at since I usually never smile with my teeth showing but now in pictures they almost seem bubble like? A I able to reshape the sides a bit to make them straighter instead of round? Or can I not since they're already cemented in? I want to get composite veneers on my other teeth since they're pretty dark in person and a have a odd texture.

Dentist says I need a root canal just 3 months after my new crown was placed. I feel he screwed this one up! Is this normal?
Lance Timmerman, DMD, MAGD says:

99% of the time the need for the root canal has nothing to do with a treating dentist.  Simply having a filling placed can push the nerve "over the edge" and need therapy.  The "cause" was the decay and not any treatment.
