My crown is broken off from the gum lines. What do I do? (Photo)

Linhlinh135790Jun 26, 2022
I hav had 1 crown( front tooth) over 15 years. It was still look good. Last year I decided to have my 10 teeth veneers, so the dentist replaced the old crown to the new one together with other 9 porcelain veneers. The fixed of the front veneers didn't look right so he had to remove the new set of 6 front teeth( including the crown) to put another new set on. You can amazing what my real teeth and been suffering. 6 months later as it yesterday, my crown has broken off right on the gum lines.

Good morning. From the xrays you provided, it certainly appears likely that the tooth will need a root canal. It is also likely that after all the decay is removed and the nerve treated, a crown will be your best long term option.
