Hi sally20424,

They may first try to re-contour the crown and fit it into your bite better. If they have to remove it, they will either pull or tap it off and if that doesn't work they will have to drill it off. Removing it may result in the need to make a new crown. Be sure to bring your night guard with you to every dental appointment just in case it needs to be adjusted to your new occlusion.
