Two new front teeth crowns feel loose, but dentist says they aren't loose. When I can hope it settles down?

Question

I just got crowns on my front 6 top teeth (3 weeks ago.) The two front teeth feel weird.. like they are loose, straight bite down feels off, hurt most of the time. I notice a "pulling" sensation when I'm drinking through a straw and a weird feeling when biting down. Any idea why two front feel off (not the others) and when I can hope it settles down?

Hi:The symptoms you are describing is most likely due to the bite being off on the front two crowns.  Unless the bite is properly adjusted, the teeth will continue to feel loose. Please return to your dentist and have the bite checked in multiple directions.Best,Dr. Maddahi

I would suggest an appointment with your provider- it is possible that the bite on those 2 teeth may need a little adjustment.  If the bite is not quite right, i can cause discomfort, and the extra pressure on the teeth, any actually make them feel a little loose.
