Bigger tooth cap
I went for a root canal treatment 4 years ago. The old half broken front tooth was removed and a new cap was fixed. The new cap near the gum area is bigger than the original teeth size. It is very evident when I smile or talk. Should I go and change my cap for a better one which doesn't come out so distinctively.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Without seeing i cannot say anything.
It might be alright for you but you might just be feeling that its big.
Anyways, consult a dentist in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
