September Quick Tip from Dr. Cheney!

My crown came off, what do I do?

Whether it’s a temporary crown, broken crown or a permanent crown, we recommend you contact us as soon as possible. There are several factors that can impact your tooth while in treatment or after treatment has been completed. A delay in getting the crown replaced can result in damage to the tooth structure and shifting of the teeth to the point where the existing crown (if whole) will not fit. We want to protect your tooth and your investment.
