I have pain when chewing. Could it be from a poorly fitted crown?

Yes, if the height of the restoration is off, biting can cause pain, and this can usually be solved with a bite adjustment. However, the cause may not be the restoration itself, so an examination is needed. 1) Restoration height issue — symptoms usually improve within a few days of adjustment. 2) Cavity or nerve inflammation in the underlying tooth — root canal treatment may be needed after X-rays. 3) Root fracture or gum inflammation — separate treatment is needed. If chewing pain lasts more than 1 to 2 weeks, or if you feel pain even at rest, it may be a nerve problem, so please visit us.
