Im a 50 year male . I got a full lower core build up with crowns and 2 bridges. Felt high but i was ok. When top was prepped and temp crowns, i completely lost my appetite. I think my back teeth are too high. Dentist said he knows what hes doing and wont remedy. I popped off my temp crowns and am able to eat with no problem. I havent returned, im afraid he'll cement perm crowns and then im screwed. Can new crowns be made to the shape of my previous bite. I was fine until the top was done
