Temporary crown problem?

I think the temporary crown is a bit too wide on my upper molar so every time I chew something, I keep accidentally biting my cheeks. I think the fact that my cheek is also a bit swollen because the upper molar is further in the back of the mouth so the dentist kept using his tools to pull my cheeks aside to make room so he could see and work on the tooth. My dentist is out of town until the night before I get the permanent crown in so what I'm wondering is will the permanent one be an issue as well or will it fit better and I won't have to deal with cheek biting?

Could I go see another dentist and have them check it out?

    If the dentist is sensible i feel he won't put it in if there is distorted swelling.
