Dental Permanency?

Like most things in life nothing is forever or permanent.
That being said often we see patient’s who has had a “permanent cap/crown come off. As it is said, nothing lasts forever, including crowns. So what do you do when a crown is displaced from the tooth it calls home?

We recommend that you call us immediately so that we can arrange for you to be seen so that if possible your crown can be cemented in again. More often than not that will be the case, but occasionally the crown can’t be put back into place. Why? Sometimes the tooth breaks or there is decay present that no longer allows the crown to fit on the tooth correctly. The sooner we see you after the incident the better the chance there is to correct the situation.

If you have any questions regarding a concern with one of your teeth or crowns, please give us a call at 561-394-9000. We will arrange for an appointment to answer your concerns and questions in a prompt manner.
