During the surgery visit when you receive your temporary crown, we'll explain what to do if it breaks or comes off. Generally, the best thing to do is call our practice and ask to come in; we'll either remake it or cement it back in place. Always take extra care with temporary crowns as they are secured with a soft cement only. If you dislodge the temporary, we suggest that you gently push it back on the tooth. It will fit precisely and will hold until you can get to see us. Please do not attempt to glue it onto the tooth in any way.
