Thanks to all. Adding to question. 6 new front crowns permanently cemented in 4 wks ago. 1st week, feel loose, all moving to left and dropping, new fillings fell out, 2 front crowns fell out sipping water in middle of doc presentation. Dentist said, crowns not loose, just feels like it, however crowns fell out cause loose, color not white as temps cause temps are acrylic. Is this true? Went to cosmetic d- got resident d. Invisalign suggested while waiting on crowns that fell out.. Is that normal?

Every dentist has their own policy on what happens if something breaks. We watch over our dentistry for 1 year without any problems. We also repair any dentistry that may break at a reduced fee for years one through five.
