'how does the crown fit'
'it's too high, you need to lower it'
'hmm well i took an xray and it looks fine, come back tomorrow'

when i had a filling recently it was similar, but it's understandable (at least for a filling dunno about crowns). having one half of my mouth numb and the other half stretched out by the rubber wedge, it was hard to properly tell which side was higher or lower. they have to err on the side of being able to remove but not being able to add. lots of things feel weird immediately after getting them, but feel fine once you're used to them (a good example is glasses, where my current pair were a shock when I first used them, but now I don't notice it at all).

I havent been to a dentist in nearly 20 years and my teeth are doing just fine.

meanwhile you have a dozen or two cavities that are slowly growing and will destroy half your teeth sooner or later. who knows, but how can you tell without x-rays? (not to mention you can have problems that you don't realize are connected to your teeth, like allergies or headaches or ear problems)
