    WORST CROWNS EVER! I have at least 6 other crowns with no problems. Dr. ** put in two molar crowns in May 2023. Crowns were so poorly aligned and the bite so. off that I bit my tongue a lot. That hurt, but then my tongue got swollen - blocking my airway making it difficult to breathe, and making it difficult to close my jaw -so I could not swallow - so I was choking in my saliva. I required emergency dentistry in order to be able to breathe and to swallow. Unfortunately I had flown out of town 2 days after Dr. ** the crowns in. While looking for solutions, two dentists told me not replace the crowns until the muscles in my jaw settled down (3 months) or the crowns would be misaligned again. Yet when I called Dr. ** about these problems he said he could remove and replace the crowns right away. It is over 9 weeks since Dr. ** put in the crowns, and I am out over $8,000 and still need to have the crowns replaced. I met with doctor ** today to try to get some understanding how his crowns could have been so poor aligned. He said he they were properly aligned. I asked him what could have gone wrong with the design of the crowns - he said they were fine. I asked him several times if he understood that his crowns caused me to bite my tongue a lot and I never had the problem with any other crowns. He ignored me and told me several times it was best if I spoke with his lawyer.
