Recement Dental Crown or Bridge: Why did it come off
If you are looking for a nearby dentist to recement your dental crown or recement your dental bridge, it has failed. Not every dental crown or dental bridge that has failed can be recemented.
Reasons why a dental crown or dental bridge can not be recemented
Our protocol to recement dental crowns and bridges
1. We always take a digital dental X-ray of the tooth to make sure there isn’t any problem hidden inside of the bone.
2. We check to make sure the tooth under the crown or bridge is healthy and the restoration can be recemented. Sometimes the cement has been slowly leaking and the crown is decayed underneath.
3. The inside of your crown or bridge is sandblasted clean and the tooth supporting the crown is cleaned.
4. If the crown has been out of the mouth a few days, sometimes the crown needs slightly adjusted, so we try the crown back in place to make sure it fits correctly.
5. The crown is recemented with fresh cement.
6. The excess cement is removed from your crown or bridge.
7. We review how to keep your tooth clean and healthy.
