When you leave your oral health in the hands of your dentist, you go home hoping that all is well. However, since you do not have any advanced education or training in the world of dental care, it’s often hard to know whether everything really is A-OK or if perhaps there’s something about the placement of your dental crown, for instance, that you should be concerned about. Fortunately, our questions-and-answers session will help you feel more secure about how to handle crown placement.
Questions and Answers
Question: How do I know if my dental crown fits correctly?
Answer: If we place your crown, you will know if fits because we will perform an exhaustive check to ensure it works correctly with your bite before you leave. If your crown was placed elsewhere, we can check the fit for you during your next dental checkup with us.
Question: Does it matter if I have an old dental crown that doesn’t really fit correctly? Is it really going to cause me serious problems?
Answer: It really, really matters if you have a crown or other work that does not fit well. You can end up with a slew of avoidable problems that you can prevent by having us check and fix your crown placement! Poor fitting work can lead to issues like jaw pain, difficulty chewing, difficulty speaking, irritation, and more.
Question: Can you replace my old crown if it doesn’t fit me anymore?
Answer: Of course. We strongly encourage you to receive a replacement if you have dental work in your smile that is ill-fitting, in order to promote your best oral health.
