Are you looking for information on why you have a loose dental crown? Dental crowns often help protect weak teeth that are weak and would benefit from having the strong support of a crown covering the tooth. When teeth are weak, they are not able to do the job they are supposed to. Thus, people need to strengthen the teeth and avoid the possibility of an extraction.

Instead of pulling any weak teeth, the choice to cover them with a crown is a popular alternative. A dental crown is an effective way to save teeth that are not in the best shape. It is always in your best interest to save your teeth whenever possible and dental crowns are a dental option for saving teeth.

DENTAL CROWNS

While dental crowns often protect a weak tooth, they can also hold dental bridges in place, even out teeth and cover up dental implants for a more aesthetically-pleasing look. Both partial dental crowns and full dental crowns are available. We will decide which crown option is going to work best for any particular situation.

Dental crowns are strong, sturdy and can last anywhere between 10 and 20 years. Regardless, accidents can occur that cause the crown to become loose. If that happens, then call us as soon as possible.

5 REASONS WHY SOMEONE MAY HAVE A LOOSE DENTAL CROWN

The following are the top five reasons why someone may have a loose dental crown.

  1. Constant clenching or grinding of the teeth can cause a crown to become loose.
  2. Tooth decay, also known as cavities, can change the structure of the tooth and in turn, will cause the crown to be loose.
  3. Any form of trauma can cause a dental crown to become loose.
  4. Eating foods that are sticky, like caramels, can pull a crown loose.
  5. It is possible for the crown to become loose while the initial cement was setting.
