I had to redo a root canal after a year because of slight pain. The dentist removed the crown and the crown was in good condition. What are the chances that i would have to make a new crown after doing the root canal instead of using the old crown. Is it true that the dimensions of the tooth can change and the existing cap doesn't fit anymore?
My tooth, with a crown on it broke. I am guessing I will have to have an implant. Can they drill out the broken part of the tooth in the crown and reuse the crown? The crown is in excellent shape.
My #14 molarcrown came open when I blew on it to clean out some debris. It looked like a little crab! I quickly put it back tog. I saw a dentist the next day; told his hygienist what happened. She could not make it reopen.Do silver crowns somehow reseal themselves? Will I get decay if a crack is still there?if decay forms, how long will that take to show up and what are the symptoms? It wad decided to reglue the crown in place. Thank you for your very kind response.
