Is a lost crown an emergency?

A lost or broken crown usually doesn’t cause any pain, but it shouldn’t be ignored. It’s important to see a dentist about a lost or broken dental crown to prevent decay, disease, and pain in the underlying tooth. Failing to get a new crown within a couple of days will increase your risk of the tooth becoming loose, falling out, or developing an infection.

Hard, crunchy, or sticky foods
Knocked loose playing sports
Impact accidents like car accidents
Detached on its own — rare but possible!

My temporary crown fell off, what should I do?

We provide our patient with the option of single visit crown or in some cases get it customized from the lab. The single visit crown are done at the same time where as if the crowns are done with the lab then it involves a temporary. We give our patients a temporary crown while their permanent is being custom-crafted. This temporary crown helps maintain space for the permanent crown and provides some chewing function and protection for the underlying tooth.
