Hi,
I was fitted with a partial crown that is too low.
I was wondering if anyone out there has been fitted with a partial crown/crown that doesn't fit and it can't be replaced. The prosthodontist that did it was not very good. I've seen 5 dentists/prosthos since and they said my bite is all screwed up -- none of the teeth are hitting evenly. I had my jaw x-rayed for TMJD but these x-rays came out normal.
The way I understand it is that it can't be replaced because it can only be fitted around 1mm. Mine is too low but it can't be replaced because it's a gray area.
I know I've told this to Zach on this board and wonder how he's doing with his gold crowns.
I was wondering how many of you out there have this problem and do you just learn to live with it.
Thank you.

The oral irritation is so bad I feel like getting the teeth pulled and fitted with dentures.
