Emergency Dentist for
Temporary Crowns in Houston, TX

How long do you need to wear a Temporary Crown?

Permanent crowns are customized to blend in perfectly with your natural teeth, so they must be fabricated in a dental lab. This takes a few weeks. You’ll need a temporary crown while you wait, for about 2 to 3 weeks. You should care for a temporary crown like you would your natural teeth by brushing and flossing twice daily. Take care when you are brushing and flossing to avoid dislodging the crown. Some other things to keep in mind to care for your temporary crown are:

• Avoid foods that are hard or sticky
• Avoid foods that are extremely hot or cold
• Limit sugar

These will reduce your risk of losing or damaging the temporary crown.

When to Call for an Appointment

If your temporary crown falls off or is causing pain and other issues, you should call A Dental Care for an emergency dental appointment. We will get you into the office as soon as possible to resolve the problem.
