I feel like this is like new shoes that don't fit; your feet tell you by reacting with blisters. My mouth has reacted with inflammation, bleeding, throbbing and now an infection. Shouldn't he just remove the temp and reexamine whether or not this is fitting properly? He wants to do 2 $1800 root canals.

Answer: What should you do when a temp crown cause problems, inflamed gums and bleeding.
Splinting the crowns together will work well, but it is guaranteed to fail at some point. Because they are front teeth, the crowns will have to conform tightly with your gums - for this reason you will not be able to clean in between the teeth well, no matter how much you try. Eventually this...
Have no fear, your
implant is going to be just fine until you can get into the office. For now,
just try to chew on the other side of your mouth. Don’t attempt to temporarily
bond your crown in place as it might result on you accidentally swallowing it,
or biting down wrong and breaking a tooth.
Most dental work does
not carry a warranty, as abuse or neglect can cause restorations to fail before
they ought to. That being said, the average life span of a crown is
approximately 10 years.
