\"NewMy dentist removed six temporary crowns from my teeth after I complained about discomfort. I had an infection, so my dentist removed the crowns and prescribed antibiotics. He didn\u2019t do root canals on any of the teeth. My bite was off when I got my new crowns, so my dentist filed away on all the crowns. The new crowns leaked like the temporaries, so my dentist returned them to the lab. I should have new crowns within ten days. My gums are burning, and my teeth are sensitive from the previous crowns. I want to cancel the crowns. Thanks. Lydia<\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t let your dentist permanently cement the new crowns until you feel comfortable with them and your bite is harmonious.<\/p>\n

Why Are Dental Crowns Burning Your Gums?<\/h2>\n

Dental crowns should not cause your gums to burn. If your crowns are porcelain fused to metal, you may have a metal allergy or sensitivity. Tell your dentist about your burning gums and ask if the crowns contain metal. If they do, your dentist can give you an alloy certificate from the dental lab to identify the metals in the crowns. If your crowns are all ceramic<\/a>, your dentist will investigate further to determine the cause of your symptoms.<\/p>\n

What If Your Dentist Can\u2019t Adjust Your Bite After Placing New Crowns?<\/h2>\n

If your dentist can\u2019t adjust your bite after placing new crowns, you can benefit from the skills and experience of a dentist with advanced cosmetic dentistry training. Placing six crowns on the front teeth is a complex treatment. Ongoing problems with your bite suggest that your dentist may not know how to harmonize your bite.<\/p>\n

You can ask your dentist to temporarily cement the new crowns and find an advanced cosmetic dentist for an exam. You can tell the dentist that you want to ensure your crowns are comfortable before they are cemented. The dentist can discern whether preparing your natural teeth for the crowns or the crowns\u2019 construction is disrupting your bite.<\/p>\n
