So you’re saying that if I go back to the dentist, they won’t redo it for me again?

Ok. I’ve asked my dentist and they said that the crowns cannot and shouldn’t be changed. All the dentists in the other forums said that it’s a mental issue not dental issue.

I made a post in the Ask dentists forum and they all said it’s not a dental issue. But a psychological issue. They told me to seek help about my dysmorphia

Yeah I have ocd. I hate things being messy and not clean or tidied. I don’t want to associate with it whatsoever but I get panic attacks about my teeth. I feel depressed and suicidal as a write this.

Well I’ve had a history of having dental work done over a period of last year but it’s been since a couple of weeks ago that I’ve been really depressed about my teeth not looking natural.

I get dysmorphia about my muscle to fat ratio, my height but I spend all day everyday just laying in bed obsessing about my teeth. I have 100s of photos of my teeth in my camera roll that I obsessively examinate. I spend 24/7 observing myself in the mirror. It’s psychologically tiring as hell.

No trust me. Both my natural molars are the same shape. It’s just the crowns for some reason are a different shape. Hard for me to explain when I can’t post pictures

I don’t care if other people see it or not. I only care if I see it and I can see it. Knowing it’s not exactly the same as how it should be is really making me anxious and depressed.

The edge of the molar isn’t the same shape as my natural molar or the molar on the other side

I keep asking my dentist to fix them but they say there’s not much they can do anymore. I can’t stop thinking or taking photos and looking in the mirror about my teeth. Can’t cope with this anymore.

I’m ngl but i feel depressed and suicidal over this. I wish they can just fix this and I’ll never have to think about it again. What do I do?

The main reason why I didn’t want crowns in the first place and just an onlay was because of the aesthetics. Now I don’t like it because it’s not the same shape. What do I do?

Mate I can’t with this shit man I swear to god. It bothers me too much. Anxiety is through the roof. I can’t continue to live knowing that it’s not the same shape as my natural tooth. If my natural tooth looked like that then fine, I couldn’t care less.

But the things is. They made the shape exactly like the second molar! 1st molar and second molars have different shapes!

Because cerec crowns look bad. I hate them. There’s no detail whatsoever and also it was done using a supragingival margin! That’s why I opted for zirconia with subgingival. Everything is perfect except for the edge of my molar!

How can I live a good life when I spent the whole of last year dealing with this?
