New Crowns

You have a new crown in your mouth which has been custom made to protect and increase the longevity of the existing tooth.  From time to time, patients experience pain after the preparation of the tooth, while the tooth has a temporary crown, and sometimes after the placement of the permanent crown.  Symptoms you may be experiencing include tenderness on biting or sensitivity to extreme temperatures.  These symptoms will gradually diminish, if this is not the case please contact us. 

Also, in the case that the temporary crown separates from the tooth or fractures, contact us immediately so that this can be rectified.  This is very important since the temporary crown is used to protect and maintain the tooth and its position.
