Crowns put on wrong teeth, if they were mixed up is there anything that can be done about it? (photos)

Bryn37544Jul 10, 2018
I had root canals done on my two front teeth 3 weeks ago and had temporaries placed. I went in this morning to have my permanent crowns put in and I am positive he put each on the wrong tooth. Previously I had a longer tooth on #8 and shorter one on #9. Now, it’s the opposite. My question is, if they were mixed up is there anything that can be done about it?

Hi: The best restoration to protect the tooth after a root canal is a crown or onlay not an inlay.  The cusps have to be protected against any fracture due to brittleness of the tooth after root canal. Best, Dr. Maddahi

Hi:If you do not get the crown recemented, you bite could change, tooth may get decayed over time and your crown may not fit.  It is best to get the crown recemented as soon as possible.Best,Dr. Maddahi

After crown or veneer procedure it is fine to have alcohol judiciously as long as you did not have an Iv sedation procedure or taking any other medications which counter acts with the meds you were prescribed.
