Can dental mould (impression) loosen crowns and veneers?

August 17, 2014
Asked By:imme84 in Dallas, TX

Can this procedure (mould impression) loosen my crowns and veneers making the teeth more susceptible to tooth decay? Will it also loosen my new white fillings? TIA

My temporary crown just fell out, it is in the back of my mouth #2 . Do I have to get it replaced or can I leave the crown off?
