Is the crown too big? (photo)

TammyJSmith
I told the dentist the crown on my front tooth felt too tight in my mouth ... she said it has to be to prevent packing... is that correct? I just got a crown on one front tooth...it feels like a block of wood in my mouth. The crown also sticks out in back on the upper edge overlapping my gum line. it feels too big. When I chew with my back teeth I feel pressure on the front tooth causing it too move, is this normal and I just have to get use to it? The crown was done a couple weeks ago.
