A temporary restoration

Follow your clinic’s instructions while waiting for the final restoration. Contact the practice if the temporary restoration loosens or is lost.

Your dental team’s advice comes first.

Experiences and care instructions vary. This guide cannot assess your health or tell you whether healing is progressing normally.

Questions for your dentist

When to contact the practice

Contact your dentist if a crown feels loose, the bite is uncomfortable, discomfort persists or worsens, or the surrounding gum changes. A temporary crown that loosens or is lost also needs practice advice.
