Can a recently cemented dental crown on my front teeth be adjusted/shortened? (Photos)

December 9, 2018
Asked By:BrittanyG18 in Williamsville, NY

I recently got them cemented in and the dentist showed me them before without using temporary or permanent cement however now that they’re on...one is longer than the other. My original teeth was even across the top but there were stains and that’s the reason I got crowns. After temporarily trying 2 other pair of crowns the dentist and lab finally got color and shape right but now it’s permenant one is cemented longer than the other
