When dry fitting a new gold crown it was too tight to the adjacent teeth & was sitting too high. After grinding the crown & my teeth didn't fix the problem new impressions were taken, it was returned to the lab. I don't know what to expect when I return this week for the second fitting. If there are any further issues I may have to consult another dentist to understand the subject. Should any grinding of teeth be required in order to fit a crown?

Answer: Is this proper procedure to grind down parts of the crown & remove some tooth material to fit a crown?
