I just had my two front teeth crowns seated yesterday. The shape, color, and length are just right and I like how they look from a front view in the dental chair. Once I returned home, when I turned three-quarter view and looked in my magnifying mirror, I noticed they were thicker than the adjacent teeth and protruded. Once the novocaine wore off I could also feel the difference and have to push my tongue forward more to lick these teeth. Also, I can't get my retainer back, which is relatively new and was given to the dental lab to ensure it fits with the retainer. These new crowns are much higher than my adjacent teeth and angle forward a bit. I just came out of 2 years of Invisalign to straighten my teeth. So can someone tell me if I am being unreasonably picky or is it normal for front teeth crowns to be higher, thicker, and protrude —even if slightly but noticeable to me? I don't want to pay for a new retainer. Is this the error of the lab or my dentist? I feel bad I didn't notice it until I returned home but I couldn't feel it with the novocaine or see it laying reclined and only seeing these from a flat front view. Photos lack depth and flatten space so these show what I am saying but less so.
