“Can a permanent crown be adjusted?”

Great question. I suppose it depends upon what is making the tooth uncomfortable in the first place. If the bite doesn't feel right, then the crown usually can be adjusted. Same if the tooth feels too tight against adjacent teeth. If the tooth is sensitive to heat or cold food or drink, that may not be able to be adjusted. The crown may have to be removed and possibly replaced. Sometimes, the final cement can irritate the tooth and cause it to be sensitive. I would speak with your dentist to determine the source of your discomfort and have it addressed. I'm hoping he or she will be happy to address your concerns.

Hope this helps,
