Should I allow my current dentist to continue treatment?

Background: 29, hadn't been to a dentist in a few years, but had been brushing well and flossing a few times a week. I went to a new dentist after being referred through 1-800-dentists. I only did this because my old dentist is now 3 hours away.

The new dentists office did a cleaning and took tons of x-Rays, which I can post if that would help. The dentist recommended that I had a crown put on my upper left, second from the back molar. She said it was fairly close to the nerve, but a root canal wasn't necessary. I booked it, even though I had had no pain whatsoever.

The filling and molds took place in late December. Their office can't create them in house, so I had to wait until January 12th. The crown is not porcelain or metal, I forget the name of the material, but it was later-made.

I could tell the crown was high when she put it in, and everything was really sensitive. She said to wait to see how things felt in the morning. Needless to say, in the morning I called in tears needing a bite adjustment. At that appointment she took a LOT off. It felt ok, but a few weeks later, in February, I went back in because my sensitivity was still really high and my lower opposing molar was starting to have pain.

I went to another dentist for a second opinion. I haven't had them do anything, but they did say the crown was possibly still a bit high just by doing the blue paper.

Cut to now, after a few weeks with no pain, but chewing on the left side is still very uncomfortable and the sensitivity is very high. It goes away really quickly, but anything remotely off temp hurts. I called to do another bite adjustment, and they said the dentist wants to re-do the crown altogether. My main concern is that it was tall to begin with, how am I to know I won't have the same issue. I haven't had any pain until she started drilling, and now I can only chew on one side of my mouth. I'll answer questions, but my main one is, do you think this time will be any different?

Thanks in advance.
