The implant itself is fine, but the crown is completely off and unable to be affixed temporarily. It will be a couple of days before I can get into my dentist, what should I do? Can I eat, drink, etc?

Most dental work does
not carry a warranty, as abuse or neglect can cause restorations to fail before
they ought to. That being said, the average life span of a crown is
approximately 10 years.
The contacts between
restorations like crowns and the natural teeth have to be done very carefully,
as open contacts allow for food packing and promote gum infections. Your
dentist should still be able to make slight adjustments to the tongue side of
the crown to help it feel more natural in...
It may be poor design with large gaps that have been sealed with resin cement. Resin cement can later stain depending on coffee/smoking habits thus leaving a dark brown line. It happens also veneers with poor margins.
