  7. DENTIST LEFT IMPLANT CROWN...

Dentist left implant crown uncemented, because the crown was stuck during trial fitting. What to do next?

April 2, 2018
Asked By:vkou in Briarcliff Manor, NY

I just came from what I hoped to become my last appointment for implant. Dentist tried to fit the crown cap before cementing it, but the cap stuck dead and could not be removed. The dentist sent me home, telling that there is nothing he can do now, but if the crown comes off (maybe in few days, or maybe in few years) - I could visit him again for cementing. In my opinion uncememnted crown is hazard (including potential choking hazard). What are available options? What should I do next?

I have 2 front dental crowns. They have recently formed a gap between them, can anything be done to correct it? (photos)
Aarti Lala, DDS says:

You can either get new crowns or removable orthodontics to close the gap. If you are missing any of your back teeth, your teeth are constantly shifting and I would suggest orthodontics with retainers. The treatment in this case is based on the cause of the gap.  Hope that helps.

How long should I wait until I get the crown for my root canal?
Paul D. Kantor, DDS says:

You should get this taken care of as soon as possible. In my practice, at the follow up appointment after a root canal I usually replace the temporary filling with a bonded composite filling or crown build up as needed. The tooth can also be prepared for a crown at the same appointment. The...
