When a tooth’s enamel layer is restored with a dental crown, a strong dental adhesive is used to securely marry it to the anchoring abutment. It is designed to hold the dental crown in place for many long years.
However, chronic gum disease complications and oral trauma can sometimes affect the strong connection. This could potentially cause one of your dental crowns to feel loose or fall free from the abutment
In a situation like this, you need to seek timely care from a dentist like Dr. Robert R. Blackhurst. After a basic assessment of the problem he can present you with the most applicable method for restoring the dental crown’s presence in your mouth.
If it’s simply a matter of the dental adhesive failing, you should see the dentin pillar protruding from your gums and the dental crown should be completely hollow. Should this prove to be the case the dental crown can be cleaned and recemented in place.
If the anchoring abutment has been traumatized to some degree or fractured, you might see some of it inside the dental crown. This might call for Dr. Robert R. Blackhurst to perform a root canal to restore the adequate structure, before starting the process of fitting you for a new dental crown.
If you are in the Pleasant Grove, Utah, area and you’ve had a dental crown fall out, you should call 801-763-5555 to have it examined and treated at Blackhurst Dental.
