Re: Unhappy with my dental work. Options?

A dentist or physican is not required to "guarantee" treatment, as it would
usually be almost impossible to do so. However, if you are not satisfied, I
would discuss this with your dentist, and explain exactly what the problem
is. I doubt that he would "be mad" but if he is, he shouldn't be.

Can it be removed if it was permanently cemented in? That would depend on
the situation, which no one can tell without seeing you. However, it may be
able to be removed. It can ALWAYS be removed by cutting it off [painless,
don't worry about that] but that would ruin the bridge and it would need to
be redone. Before you worry about all that, discuss this with your dentist,
and/or get a second opinion. Perhaps the position/size of your original
teeth make it necessary that the crowns have to be somewhat large, but I
don't really know without seeing you. Good luck!
