Hi everyone,
I went in today to my cosmetic dentist to get the back of my front tooth crown reshaped, as the bite isn't feeling right. He got a little overzealous and somewhere along the way, he sliced off part of the bottom. The tooth is now a little shorter than the other front tooth, and has a straight edge to it, slightly at an angle. It looks very unnatural. I didn't realize it happened in the moment. Before leaving the dentist, I happened to look at it in the mirror, and noticed it right away. When I pointed it out to him, he completely denied doing it. He said he only worked on the back. But obviously I walked in with it one way, and out with it a different way.
So, he's refusing to work on it anymore. I'm going to need to find another dentist. But what options might I have? Is it possible to repair a porcelain crown by adding to it, so that it's of the same length again? He completely ruined it.
