Tooth crown too big?

I got a crown put on yesterday after wearing a temporary for awhile. The top of it is fine, as is the side closest to my tongue, but the side next to the lip seems a little weird - I can feel the bottom of it and actually there is some space underneath that my thumbnail can fit under. I remember with the temp being able to feel the bottom ridge but then the gum grew over it - do I just need to wait for this to happen, or is this unusual. She told me to call her in a few days if anything was wrong or weird, but I don't know if this is weird or typical.





Also, I went in all scared about it and it was probably the easiest dental-type thing I've ever had done.

Tooth crown too big?
I assume it's normal, but it's interesting because with my crown it's the opposite: the dark ridge/space or whatever you call it is by my tongue. Have the dentist check it out.
Reply:The crown should fit the shoulder of the preperation better than that and it should be like 1 mm beneath the gum. You may try brushing the gums toward the incisal edge of the tooth for a couple of days; if no improvement call your Dentist.
Reply:Stop worrying ,you will adjust to the feel!! Doc W
