AlthoughI always cement my temporaries, if the prepared teeth are very parallel and thetemporary crowns fit well, I think you can get away without using cement. Itcan be very difficult to remove a well fitting cemented temporary crown, insuch a case, cutting it off could be the only option.

First, ask the dentist your currently have why things are a problem. If you are packing chicken between the teeth with every meal, there are ways to fix things without replacement. If you truly need replacement, then you should budget to get that done sometime in the future...
Thank you for your question. I am assuming you were in custom temporaries while your porcelain crowns were being fabricated in which case the "feel factor" will be different from the temporary material to the porcelain. Note how long you have had the crowns cemented. One week...
