Does a chipped porcelain crown have to removed from mouth to be repaired?

Question

Scott Young, DDS · Answer

You would need to have the crown removed and replaced to obtain a proper fit . Anything else would be a compromise .

Andy Shieh, DMD · Answer

Porcelain chipped off crowns exposing metal underneath can not be patched, repaired or fixed. The only way to have porcelain replaced is to have a new crown made for that tooth. Also have an all-ceramic tooth made this time and not porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns.
