Cracked crown on a root canal Woodland Hills

When you have a cracked crown on a root canal and you find the pain is too strong and unbearable, please call our front office immediately or simply fill out the short form and we can schedule an appointment to replace your cracked crown.   Even if you have no pain, it’s a good idea to contact us to address the issue within one or two days.

We're sorry to hear this happened to you.

Are you in any discomfort or have any sensitivity with the remaining tooth structure?

If your crown cracks, breaks or comes loose, you can take steps to mitigate the problem until you see us:

• Examine the area. Look at the broken crown and see if pieces appear to be missing or dislodged. If the crown is very loose, you may try to pull it off before you accidentally swallow it.
• Once the crown is out look at the remaining tooth. Is it jagged and likely to hurt your tongue, or can you deal with the unusual feeling in your mouth for one or two days?
• If you have minor pain, some over-the-counter pain reliever should help. If the area is bleeding or highly sensitive, contact your dentist as soon as possible.

Dental crown repair

Repairs to a cracked dental crown vary depending on the size and severity of the damage. In many cases, your dentist can simply smooth and reshape the remaining crown.

But if the crack, break or dislodgment is severe enough, your dentist may recommend creating an entirely new crown, using a dental post to hold the appliance on. Your prosthodontist’s office staff can help you with the insurance and payment options to make the dental procedure as affordable as possible.

So don't delay, make an appointment with us and find out what needs to be done. That way, you'll know your options and can then decide, instead of having the tooth decide for you because

We can repair or replace your crown.
