Dislodged or Loose Dental Crowns

A dental crown becomes dislodged or loose when the restoration separates from the underlying tooth due to wear, decay, trauma, or old dental cement breaking down. While it may not always cause pain immediately, a loose or missing crown leaves your tooth vulnerable to damage, sensitivity, and infection. Prompt care is crucial to protect your natural tooth and restore your smile.

Seeking timely treatment can preserve your natural tooth and avoid more extensive dental work:

• Protects the exposed tooth from sensitivity and decay.
  
• Prevents further damage or fracture to the tooth underneath.
  
• Restores your ability to chew and speak normally.
  
• Avoids infection or inflammation in surrounding gum tissue.
  
• Reduces discomfort or irritation caused by a loose crown.
  
• Improves appearance and smile confidence.
  
• Saves time and cost by addressing the issue early.

At Nista Family Dental, treatment for a dislodged or loose dental crown begins with a detailed evaluation by Dr. Mark Nista to assess the condition of both the crown and the underlying tooth. If the crown is still in good shape and the tooth is healthy, we carefully clean both surfaces and securely recement the crown using advanced dental adhesives. If the crown is damaged or the tooth has changed, we’ll take new impressions and craft a replacement crown to restore strength, function, and a natural look—all with comfort and precision.
