This does occur on occasion, and generally not a problem if you don't have senstivity or if the tooth has had a root canal treatment in the past. If you develop even slight sensitivity, you should have it repaired because once the nerve of the tooth becomes inflammed, even when the final crown goes on the tooth may remain sensitive for some time and possibly even need root canal treatment. Best to call your dentist and follow their advise.
Eric, thank you for your question. I always advise my patients in case there is something uncomfortable, including brackage of the temporary crowns, to call the office and come back to fix it.The reason being, even though it might not hurt, teeth shift whatever slightly during the day. In case where the space exists like in a broken part area, that shift is even bigger. When it occurs , cementation of the permanent crown might be more challenging then it should be.All the best!
Call your dental office-our office will always see our patients. We will usually rush the lab and try to get you done but will remake the temporary if we can't get it back sooner. Temporaries hold the space and cover your tooth for protection. Glad you had little sensitivity!
Even though that you have almost no pain and the tooth is partially covered by the temporary I would recommend that a new temporary be fabricated. Call your dentist and see what they recommend

You are much better off going back to the dentist to redo your temporary. Meanwhile do not chew anything on that side, and make sure you keep the area clean.
I am not a fan of one day crowns. The type of porcelain ,matters. some porcelain are more abrasive than others. do check your bite with a dentist who performs full mouth reconstructions, TMJ and head and neck pain treatments, someone who knows about occlusion and bite. The adjustment is...
Crowns show the underlying metal , due to the preparation of the tooth. Metal requires less reduction, and less bulk so that the gums stay healthier. There is a better option and that is an all porcelain crown.You pay more for it but it is the best .
For many years the material of choice for fabricating a front tooth crown was porcelain baked atop a metal substucture. As the patient got older and the gumline receeded the edge of the crown that was originally hidden under the gum became exposed revealling the edge of metal under the...
