Is it appropriate to seat permanent crowns with temporary adhesive?

January 8, 2015
Asked By:toothfairy54 in Rancho Mirage, CA

I had several old front crowns replaced. My dentist seated the new crowns with temporary adhesive for a week to ensure I was comfortable with the fit. When he attempted to remove the crowns to permanently re-seat them, 2 of the crowns would not budge. It has now been almost a year, and he has been unsuccessful in attempts to remove them. He indicated he will likely have to cut them off and replace them. Is this a common dental practice?
