More than likely the answer will be no. It really depends on if the tooth is re-prepped, this changes the margins of where the crown and tooth meet together. You need a perfect fit there so there will be no leakage or area for bacteria to get under the crown or an exposed area of dentin that can easily decay and be hypersensitive. Unfortunately, the margins are usually where the decay is at. Also the crown is made to fit one tooth and one tooth only, it can't be placed on another tooth. If you have a gold crown that is available, (meaning you can place it in your hand or take it off a tooth) you can ask for the lab to use it in making your new crown. There will still be the dentist charge for doing the crown prep work and a lab charge, but without the gold cost unless they need more to make the crown. So you may save a little money. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but "Cap Daddy" can fix it for you, just ask him! Good luck!
