Cherie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherie,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I understand your frustration with your crown falling off three times, and the proposed crown lengthening solution raises some concerns. While the procedure can be necessary in certain situations, your dentist&#8217;s approach, in this case, doesn&#8217;t sit quite right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our concerns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Repeated failures: A crown shouldn&#8217;t fall off repeatedly. This suggests issues with either the initial preparation or the material used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reactive approach: Why wasn&#8217;t crown lengthening discussed upfront? Addressing potential limitations before starting seems like the responsible course of action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blackening on the tooth: This new development warrants investigation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Gather information from one or two second-opinion appointments with dentists experienced in crown retentive techniques. Ask questions to understand your treatment options. Also, explain your anxiety and possible need for <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/sedation-dentist-plano.html\">sedation to keep you relaxed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentist didn&#8217;t discuss potential limitations and the need for additional procedures upfront, ask for a refund or help paying for a new crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\">Plano, Texas, female dentist<\/a> Dr. Miranda Lacy sponsors this post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My crown isn&#8217;t staying on.
