MY TEMPORARY CROWN HAS COME OFF WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Unfortunately, getting the adhesive timing of a temporary crown right can be a frustrating process for patient and dentist alike. Thank you for your patience during the interim period. The permanent crowns we deliver to our patients are lab-made and of extremely high quality are well worth the wait. But if your temporary crown comes off early and is unbroken, you can you use either toothpaste, vaseline, or temporary cement (sold at pharmacies) to put it back in place.

You can also call us during normal business hours and we will fit you into the schedule if you’d rather have us reapply the temporary cement and/or make any necessary adjustments. If your temporary crown has broken, give us a call during regular business hours to check in. We always have the ability to make a new temporary crown for you. And so long as you aren’t feeling significant pain, going a couple days without one won’t create any major issues.
