Did your crown come off? Your dentist in Fort Lauderdale is here to help.

What is a crown?

A dental crown, often referred to as a "cap," is a dental restoration that covers and protects your tooth.  Dental crowns are used to restore teeth that have large amounts of decay too large to restore using a dental filling, teeth that are fractured or broken, or teeth that have had root canal therapy.   They are used to restore the function and appearance of your tooth.  Having your dental crown made by the best cosmetic dentist in Broward County will ensure a natural looking restoration made with the highest quality materials that will last for years.

Why did my crown come off?

Dental crowns are made to last up to 10 to 15 years; however, they can come off prematurely.  Reasons your dental crown may come off include:

 

What do I do now that my crown fell off?

  1. Rather than search the internet for "dentist nearby," contact your family dentist on Commercial Boulevard by calling 954-928-1666. We will make every effort to see you for a same day emergency appointment.
  2. Recover and rinse your crown. Rinse your crown thoroughly and bring it with you in a plastic bag when you see your dentist.  As long as there is not significant damage to your crown, Dr. Rotroff or Dr. Wasselle should be able to recement your crown.  
  3. Have your crown recemented. If at all possible, try to have your dental crown recemented the same day it came off. Leaving your tooth exposed without the crown to protect it could lead to damage to the remaining tooth structure as well as a painful toothache for you.  Avoid chewing on the side of the mouth where the crown is missing until your crown is recemented.  
  4. You made need a new crown.  It is possible that either your crown is damaged or lost or your teeth has additional decay, making crown reattachment inadvisable. In this case, Dr. Rotroff or Dr. Wasselle will discuss your options for crown replacement.  Fortunately, you have selected the best cosmetic dentist in Fort Lauderdale and can rest assured your new crown will be of the highest quality for a natural looking result.
