Q. I had a dental implant fitted over 6 months ago and it’s brilliant, it was a great success and I went to get my permanent crown fitted last week but it doesn’t look right at all. It’s bigger than the rest of my teeth and protrudes greatly, I asked my dentist if he could replace it but he won’t because he said it looks fine and it would take too long to get another one made! What can I do about this? I’m very upset as it is very noticeable.,
A. Your options are to talk to him/her abut your concerns and suggest what is the best way forward.

The OP has already spoken to his his dentist, so his option now, if he is still not happy is to seek a second opinion. Some research on the web, or better still asking for a recommendation to find another dentist is the best way forward. He is likely to have to pay for a consultation, but this should not cost a great deal if he makes it clear that he is only looking for an opinion on the crown.
