A lost crown occurs when a dental crown becomes detached from the underlying tooth structure, leaving the prepared tooth exposed and vulnerable. This dental emergency can happen due to decay beneath the crown, weakening of the dental cement, or trauma to the mouth. The exposed tooth often feels sensitive to temperature and pressure, and may appear as a darkened or shortened stub where the crown once sat.
You should seek immediate dental treatment if your crown falls out. The exposed tooth lacks protection and can quickly develop pain, sensitivity, or further damage. Bacteria can easily enter the exposed area, potentially leading to infection or decay. Time matters with lost crowns.
At London Dental Specialists in Central London, Dr. Ope Sodeinde and our expert team regularly treat lost crown emergencies. We assess whether your original crown can be recemented or if a new restoration is needed. Our specialists use advanced techniques to restore your tooth's function and appearance quickly. Don't leave a lost crown untreated.

When looking for a dental experts to help you with Lost Crown, you can trust us to take care of you with our experience, knowledge and bonafide certificates of dental expertise.
Our team of dental specialists will take care of you, and consider every dental aspect with each of our specialist dental expererience to make sure that you get the help you need.
Stay calm. First, locate your crown if possible and rinse it gently with warm water. Don't use soap or chemicals. If you can see the crown fits properly, you may temporarily reattach it using dental cement from a pharmacy or even sugar-free gum as an emergency measure. However, avoid chewing on that side. Contact London Dental Specialists immediately to arrange an urgent appointment. The sooner we see you, the better chance we have of saving your natural tooth and reusing your original crown. Time matters here.
We understand that losing a crown can be both painful and distressing. Our Central London practice prioritises crown emergencies and typically offers same-day or next-day appointments for urgent cases. When you call, explain that you've lost a crown and describe any pain you're experiencing. We'll do everything possible to fit you in quickly. The exposed tooth underneath needs protection, and delaying treatment could lead to further complications or the need for more extensive treatment later.
This depends entirely on the condition of both your crown and the underlying tooth. If your crown is intact and undamaged, and if the tooth structure remains healthy, we can often recement the original crown. However, if the crown has cracked, chipped, or if decay has developed underneath, you'll need a new restoration. During your emergency appointment, we'll examine both carefully. Modern crowns are incredibly durable, so there's often a good chance we can save your original restoration.
You might. The tooth underneath your crown has been shaped and prepared, making it more sensitive than a natural tooth. You may experience sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, sweet foods, or even air. Some people feel sharp pain, while others notice only mild discomfort. We can provide immediate pain relief during your visit and recommend appropriate pain management until your crown is properly restored. Don't suffer unnecessarily.
Several excellent options exist. We can create a new traditional crown, which typically takes about two weeks with a temporary crown protecting your tooth meanwhile. Alternatively, we offer same-day crowns using advanced digital technology, allowing you to leave with your permanent restoration in just one visit. If the underlying tooth has suffered damage, we might recommend a dental implant for the most durable long-term solution. Our specialists will discuss all options thoroughly, considering your specific situation, budget, and preferences.
Crown replacement costs vary depending on the material chosen and complexity of your case. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation, with no hidden fees. Many dental insurance plans cover crown replacement, particularly when it's due to normal wear rather than accident. We accept major insurance providers and offer flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible. Interest-free finance options are available for 12 to 24 months, and we can arrange longer-term financing if needed. Your oral health shouldn't wait due to financial concerns.
Prevention is absolutely possible with proper care. Avoid chewing ice, hard sweets, or using your teeth as tools. Don't grind your teeth, and if you do this unconsciously at night, we can provide a protective guard. Maintain excellent oral hygiene around your crown, as decay underneath is a common cause of crown failure. Regular check-ups allow us to spot potential problems early. Modern crowns, when properly maintained, can last 15 years or longer. We'll provide specific care instructions tailored to your restoration type and lifestyle.
A lost crown requires immediate attention. Contact London Dental Specialists straight away if you experience severe pain, sharp edges cutting your tongue or cheek, or significant sensitivity to hot and cold. These symptoms indicate your tooth needs urgent protection.
When your crown comes off, handle it carefully and keep it safe. Rinse your mouth gently with warm water. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. If you're experiencing pain, over-the-counter pain relief may help temporarily, but this doesn't replace professional care.
Some situations demand same-day treatment. Sharp pain when biting down suggests possible tooth damage. Swelling around the affected area could indicate infection. Visible cracks in the exposed tooth require immediate professional assessment. Don't wait if eating becomes difficult or if you notice bleeding from the gum line.
