Charge to Re-set a Crown?

5 years is a long time!  There is a cost for chair time, cement and staff.  The fee charged likely doesn't cover it all, but it is normal to be charged.

The reality is, it likely should be made new, so having it recemented was a bargain (crowns come off for a reason, usually decay or cracked tooth).

After 5 years it is quite common to charge, mostly for the materials and time in the chair. It also depends on why it came off, is there decay underneath?, sticky candy? grinding habit? Lots of things to consider Good Luck

Yes after 5 years it would be OK for the dentist to charge for the re-cement of the crown.  In my office it would depend on the patient but in most cases I would charge for it
