My #31 crown cracked on the outside as I was eating a creamy peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It still has temporary cement on it. I have no idea if there is a warranty on a crown. I have been careful on what I have eaten since it's temp. cement. I had it put on 9 months ago.

Answer: Crown warranties
I would encourage you to call your dentist and tell him what happened. Most dentists want to make you happy and if it was only temporarily cemented, there must have been a future plan about permanent cementation. Most dentists will do work over at no charge or reduced charges if patients are not having success with their work.
Best of Luck,

Answer: Warranty on a Molar dental crown
Our office feels you should have at least 1000 meals on your dental crown which is one year at 3 meals a day. We feel that if a problem is to exist it will occur sooner than later. There are instances when a patient is warned that the situation is not ideal and the patient chooses the least expensive alternative which is not the best. In those cases, we do not warrenty the tooth if the patient was told that this is not an ideal fix.
