I had a large gap between my two front teeth. To fix it, my dentist did six dental crowns.

Would that fix this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear Peter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/PorcelainCrown.jpg\" alt=\"CEREC Crown being placed on a tooth\" class=\"wp-image-1044\"\/><figcaption>Sometimes a dentist gets in over their head<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Your problem isn&#8217;t because the gap was closed. These large gaps can be fixed without any negative repercussions. Instead, I think your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/porcelain_crowns.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"porcelain crowns (opens in a new tab)\">porcelain crowns<\/a> were not done properly. This case was probably too challenging for your dentist. As a result, he has inadvertently damaged your bite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is rather serious and needs to be addressed right away. My suspicion is your dentist made your dental crowns too thick, which opened your bite too much. This led to the pain you are experiencing as well as lip incompetence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your crowns are too thick, it leads to your mouth staying agape. That will cause the dry mouth you are struggling with. It is absolutely imperative your mouth closes naturally. Without that, you won&#8217;t have enough saliva in your mouth. Saliva is a key component in fighting decay because of its bacteria fighting minerals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pain is also a result of a bite being opened too far. This can lead to problems with TMJ  Disorder. Though, pain is enough of a reason to have this fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist appears to have been in over his head fixing this gap. I want you to see an <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"AACD accredited cosmetic dentist (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/about_mikemalone.html\" target=\"_blank\">AACD accredited cosmetic dentist<\/a>.
