Crown Repair Possible?

May 2, 2023
Asked By:R2E5 in West Windsor Township, New Jersey

Two questions: I have a crown that is not flush against the gum on the inside/tongue side. Can the crown be altered to fix this? Or does it require a new one? Also, the bite is generally good (no pain), but food is bunching at the back and forced up btwn teeth. Is this common/acceptable or how "perfect" should the bite be in this regard? (Didn't have this issue with prior crown.)
