About the Service

Losing a filling or crown can be unsettling. Not only does it compromise tooth function, but it also leaves the tooth exposed and vulnerable. While it's rarely a dire emergency, seeking prompt dental attention is important for your oral health.

Why See Your Dentist Right Away? Without the protection of a filling or crown, the tooth is exposed to bacteria and decay. Sensitivity & Pain: The exposed area can become sensitive to temperature, pressure, and sweets. Compromised Bite: Chewing may be difficult or uneven, affecting your bite. Shifting Teeth: Gaps created by a missing filling or crown can sometimes cause neighboring teeth to shift.

Why Choose Us? Prompt Appointments: We understand the need for quick intervention with lost fillings or crowns. Durable Restorations: We use high-quality materials for long-lasting replacements. Prevention Focused: We investigate why the filling or crown came out and help prevent future losses.

What to Do if You've Lost a Filling or Crown

Act quickly to protect your tooth! These steps outline the essential things to do if you've lost a dental restoration. It includes contacting your dentist, managing temporary discomfort, and protecting the exposed tooth until your appointment.

• If possible, find the lost filling or crown and bring it with you.
• Schedule an appointment as soon as possible – prompt action is best.
• For sensitivity, consider over-the-counter pain relief or applying clove oil (with caution) to the area.
• You can purchase dental cement at some pharmacies for temporary protection of the tooth.
