Front Tooth Crown
I have opted for layered zirconia crown for my front single tooth as suggested by my dentist.
But now the dentist have already made 4 crowns and none of them is perfect. It is bulky and shape doesn't match my other teeth.
She says that the lab person said that the thickness cannot be reduced as then the crown can break easily.
Then what my dentist did to reduce thickness was she removed the upper layer and the crown now looks very opaque and white in color. Its temporarily fitted as I requested not to fit it permanently because I don't like it. It still looks slightly bulky.
Its been one month, and I have still not received my perfect crown.
What should I do?
Do you think my dentist is inexperienced? My treatment is going on at sabkadentist.
Please guide me. Thank you for your time.

Hi!
I totally understand your situation and how you might be feeling helpless at this time.
Please share a picture of the crown as well as the tooth that was prepared before the crown. (If you have both pictures).
Next Steps
Any crown takes time to get used to in the mouth and feels a little bulky at first.
Do you also feel that it does not align/match with the opposite side of your teeth?
Ask your dentist to give you the best quality zirconia as it also has different types.

As your crowns are temporarily fixed there is still possibility for modifications.
It is always better to get the corrections or adjustments done at the lab.
Reducing the thickness of the crown removes the glaze and results in an improper finish.
Next Steps
Kindly attach pictures if possible for further guidance.
