I got a crown on my bottom molar almost 6 months ago. Since it was placed the dentist I went to buffed my upper tooth to adjust the bite. The bottom Crown seems to feel flat with a few ridges compared to the rest of my molar. For example if I want to eat a pretzel I have to chew with the other side of my mouth because applying pressure to it starts to hurt the the bottom crowndo molar. Is this something that can be fixed? Also I did not need a root canal, that's why they just placed a crown.

Hi:Unfortunately your crown can not be used for the implant in the future. A new crown has to be made that fits the new implant and abutment which will be different in size than the crown you used to have on your own tooth.Best,Dr. Maddahi
Hi:You are right, using a whitening toothpaste and whitening mouthwas is the best solution. I would recommend Oral Essentials Whitening Toothpaste and Mouthwash since it can be used daily without any sensitivity.Best,Dr. Maddahi
