Question

Can composite resin be used to fix these two small chips in my emax crowns? I cannot replace them with new ones right now, what are my options? Is it okay to leave them this way if they are not bothering me?

Hello. The gaps between cracked crown margins and gingiva do not seem negligibly small. Composite resin may help for a short time period but it does not adhere with crown surface. It only bonds onto a limited tooth surface which may cause fall of those composite filling materials. Crown renewal should br considered.

It is very hard to place the composite on metal. However, you do not need any restoration on it. It won't cause any problems at this time, and furthermore, you do not need to change the crowns.
