Do I need a new impression and model if I had a crown made that needs to be redone?

Question

If I had a crown made that needs to be redone do I need to have a new impression and model made or can they use the model that was used initially. The crown is cemented on with temporary glue. It fits but the shape and color are off. Just wondering if I need to start all over. Thanks.

Hello, yes you would need a new impression for a new crown, it is not possible to change a color on a crown that was already made, it would need to be redone, the shape can be adjusted but not changed fully. At Dental Del Rio we can make a crown in 2-3 days.

Hello! If you are unhappy with the color, the crown can be sent into the dental lab for a better color match. However, if you are unhappy either the shape, a new crown would need to be made. Making a new crown would require a new impression and model. Good luck on your journey! Dr. Sebastian Munoz DDS
