Same-Day Dental Crown Repair Services

A lost or damaged dental crown leaves the underlying tooth exposed to bacteria, temperature sensitivity, and possible breakage. Our emergency crown repair services offer immediate protection with a temporary crown and, in many cases, can provide a permanent replacement the same day.

Same-day crown solutions available for many cases

Types of Dental Crown Emergencies

Lost or Detached Crown

A crown completely falls off, often due to worn cement, decay beneath the tooth, or trauma.

Broken or Cracked Crown

Crown becomes chipped or fractured from biting something hard or due to weakening over time.

Loose Crown

Crown feels unstable or moves slightly when touched, often caused by cement breakdown or decay.

Crown with Pain or Swelling

Pain under or around the crown can indicate infection, a failing root canal, or gum inflammation.

Crown on a Fractured Tooth

If the tooth underneath breaks or splits, the crown may no longer fit properly or stay in place.

Old Crown Failure

An aged crown can cause poor fit or aesthetic problem can be a sign for a replacement.

Broken Tooth Treatment Options

  • Evaluation & Diagnosis

We start with a visual exam and digital X-rays to assess the crown, the underlying tooth structure, and surrounding tissues. This helps determine whether the crown can be repaired or needs to be replaced.

  • Cleaning & Tooth Preparation

The affected area is gently cleaned to remove debris, bacteria, or old cement. If the crown is intact, it may be disinfected and re-cemented. If the crown is damaged or the tooth underneath is decayed or broken, further steps are taken.

  • Temporary Crown Placement (if needed)

If a new crown is required, we may place a temporary crown to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is custom-made. This provides immediate comfort and function.

  • Final Crown Placement

Once the permanent crown is ready, we check the fit, color, and bite alignment. The crown is then securely bonded using dental cement. Final polishing ensures a natural look and feel.

What To Do When You Have A Fallen Crown

Immediate Actions

  • Retrieve the crown and restore it in a clean container. Bring it with you to your dental appointment.

  • Rinse your mouth gently using a warm water to remove the debris.

  • Protect the tooth with a small dental cement (if available).

  • Avoid chewing in the affected area.

  • Call us immediately at (877) 462-0628.

What To Avoid

  • Don’t try to glue the crown back with household adhesives.

  • Don’t ignore pain, swelling, or sensitivity.

  • Don’t eat crunchy or chewy foods on the affected side.

  • Don’t delay treatment — the longer you wait, the more complex the fix may become.

Emergency Crown Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put my crown back in myself?

Only temporarily. Over-the-counter dental cement or denture adhesive can hold the crown in place for short-term relief—but this is not a permanent fix. Never use superglue or household adhesives.

Can a damaged crown be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

It depends on the severity. Minor chips or cracks may be repairable. However, if the crown is broken or doesn’t fit properly, a new one will be recommended.

How quickly can a new crown be made?

Avoid chewing on the side with the missing crown. Stick to soft foods and avoid anything sticky, crunchy, or hot until the crown is repaired.
