No sensitivity with acrylic temporary cap but cold sensation after putting zirconia cap?

suditiJul 4, 2018
I’m going through dental treatment wherein my 4 teeth spaces ( rightmost corner) are covered wih zirconia crown. Out of the four teeth one was already missing so 3 plus 1 missing space is covered with ziconia cap . My problem is that I had no cold sensation with temporary acrylic cap put on for 15 days but started having sensitivity after putting zirconia cap. Why so.... . Had been using sensodyne n mouthwash as per my dentist.

I would suggest seeing a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Today there are many oral surgeons who also have MD degrees as well as a DDS or DMD. I think this sort of specialist would be able to treat you best.

In order to have a new crown fabricated, the old crown would have to be removed and you would need a new scan or impression to have a new crown made. I don't think medicaid will cover a new crown for cosmetic purposes so expect to pay for it completely out of pocket.
