How 'easy' is it to remove & re-do crowns?

How 'easy' is it for a Dentist to remove and re-do a (permanently cemented) crown that is extremely problematic? (The crown feels MUCH 'bigger' than the teeth around it and has a very strange 'curve' to it - the back of the tooth is a lot shorter than the front, and the biting surface is almost 'crescent' shaped..this makes my teeth bang like crazy, despite numerous [5+ now] attempts to adjust & reshape it..)

From googling this, it looks like the Dentist has to 'cut' off the crown and re-do. Is this right?

Just trying to get a sense for how traumatic this is to the tooth all in all to weigh the pros and cons. (BTW, no RCT has been done on this tooth). As mentioned in my other post, tooth #14 has given me nothing since problems after first having a CEREC (Dentist #1, removed by Dentist #2 and a traditional procelain crown put on).

Thanks..

Jim
