Crowns Ask The Dentist Corinne Scalzitti

Question:
New crowns messing up my bite: I am pasting a question that is similar to mine.

After new crowns, I had some teeth on the opposite side shaved down a bit to help with the change the extraction caused to my bite. Now it feels as though my front teeth and bicuspids are touching much more than my molars.

Is this something I will eventually get used to or should it be fixed? Should my front teeth just be shaved down a bit or does it require something more complicated?

It has been 6 weeks and impossible to relax my mouth. ...Visitor from CA

Answer:
I am having trouble understanding your question.

I guess there was some time between the extraction and the placement of the bridge. While your dentist may be doing the best job possible with a difficult situation, this sounds like sanding down the legs of a table to make them level.

I would look to a second opinion from somebody who has a lot of bite experience.

You may want to look for an LVI dentist who has studied at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, which teaches excellent occlusion courses. I would look for somebody who has participated in numerous courses, not just one or two.
