3rd time my crown pops off. What treatment would you recommend?

July 25, 2014
Asked By:Noreen1234 in Media, PA

Lance Timmerman, DMD, MAGD says:

While it is unfortunate that the crown broke, it is not likely that fault lies with the dentist. There are so many factors involved that "blame" is hard to apply.   Finding a new dentist is up to you, but if trust is broken then perhaps you should move on.

Is it normal for gums to be sore and tender after placement of crown over implant?
Nick M. Mobilia, DDS says:

It is not uncommon for your gums to be sore immediately after having a crown placed over an implant.  Even if there was no pain before the permanent crown was placed, the gum tissues need to adapt to the shape of the new crown and sometimes, this can cause discomfort for a day or two....
