Is this a bad dental crown?

[Rashead]

Hello,

I just had a dental crown fitted and I'm feeling a little paranoid. Can you let me know if you think the dental crown is bad? I feel like it has been over contoured. There was some bite adjustment done during the fitting.

(I apologise for the stains - they were a result of chlorhexidine mouthwash use)

Thanks!

Hi Rashead,

Speaking as a CDT its most definitely not the best work I've seen but it's also not the worst. I'm assuming that the crown is a bruxzir crown (usually what is used for posterior cases)?
On the bright side, nobody will even see it except you. Wouldn't worry about it too much. Might not be the prettiest tooth but if it does what it needs to then you're fine.

Can't see enough to be sure - overcontouring means the crown is too large, and often leads to gum problems. Your photo isn't enough to see. A bit of adjustment at time of fitting isn't unusual.
BTW, the lower left wisdom tooth appears to be decayed. Have it checked with an Xray and get it extracted.
