If you're experiencing irritation in the gums and cheek biting with a new zirconia crown, it may indicate that the crown requires adjustments. It's best to schedule an appointment with your dentist to have the crown evaluated.
During the examination, your dentist will assess the fit and alignment of the crown, as well as the occlusion (bite) relationship. They may recommend trimming or adjusting the crown to improve your comfort and prevent cheek biting.
In some cases, a simple adjustment can alleviate the irritation and improve the overall fit of the crown. However, if the crown cannot be adequately adjusted or if there are underlying issues with its design or fit, your dentist may recommend a new crown.
Consulting with your dentist is essential to determine the appropriate course of action. They will be able to assess your specific situation, discuss the options available, and provide personalized recommendations based on your needs.
