Dentistry nhs crown issue and questions
Discussion
Hi.
i just had a metal crown fitted to 2nd from back lower tooth.
Howether, ten crown is huge in comparison to what was there.
in normal eating and closing of teeth, only the crown and the tooth above now touch.
I am going back in afew weeks.
Does the dentist send the moulds to the nfs to make the crowns?
it feels like a clump of metal on the tooth.
Have they just guessed at the shape of the tooth?
I presume the detest will be able to do a lot of shaping of the crown? Or is this going to need a completely new crown?
I am talking 1-2 mm to be filed off.
Should the crown be exactly the same same size as the original tooth?
Mine is wider, higher....not even close
