Go to the dentist.
Reply:Dentists can do just about anything you want nowdays, and yes, you can change your crown. Go see a dentist and he'll explain your options and can examine your tooth if you're worried about it.
Reply:Assuming the tooth was prepared correctly, you should be safe from recurrent infection. Any dentist can (and should ) regularly check the margins of crowns to be sure there isn't any decay sneaking underneath. You should be EXTRA careful flossing the crowned tooth, as your brush can't reach between the teeth where the margins are!





I don't know what "high point teeth" are. If you just don't like the look or bite on the crown, a dentist can change it, but you'll have to cough up another grand or whatever the cost is in your area.
Reply:if its not causing you problem for two years now , then it is ok but the wise thing to do is have it check each time you hve oral prophylaxis(professional cleaning) , the hygienist wil tell you or you may ask . . High point means? Its your preference, you can always ask for cosmetic treatment if you so desire . but if i wear you natural teeth always looks good , and if taken care of will serve us a lifetime.
