Guide to damaged crowns
Patients should seek an emergency appointment more urgently if their crown has broken and they are in pain or bleeding. If the crown has jagged edges, it’s more reason to seek an immediate replacement.
- Crown is loose or wobbling
- Food getting stuck on the gum line of the crown
- Damaged or frayed crown edges are irritating the gums causing inflammation and swelling
- Pain when eating or biting down on the crown
- Sensitivity to hot and cold
- Dental decay
- Grinding or clenching teeth
- Old crown that needs replacing
- An improper bite
- Cement has washed out
It’s simple – we can either repair the dental crown (depending on its age and extent of damage) either by bonding or recementing.
However, if the damage is extensive and the crown is old, then you might be recommended to replace the crown, which can cost from £900.
Your other option would be to extract the problem tooth entirely and replace it with a dental implant.
Patients must first remember why they were prescribed a crown in the first place, which is usually to protect an underlying tooth, or as a final cosmetic restoration.
So replacing a broken crown will be essential either for keeping a natural look to your cosmetic treatment, or to protect your oral health from bacteria, infection and further decay and deterioration.
