Dislodged Crowns & Loose
Dentist in Miami, FL
At Happy Smiles Dental Group, Inc., we provide fast and effective solutions for dislodged and loose crowns to restore your tooth’s function and appearance. If your dental crown has become loose or fallen out, prompt treatment is essential to prevent further damage and discomfort while ensuring long-term stability.
What Are Dislodged & Loose Crowns?
A dental crown is a protective cap placed over a tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Over time, crowns can become loose or dislodged due to normal wear, poor bonding, or underlying dental issues. If left untreated, a loose or missing crown can expose your tooth to bacteria, sensitivity, and further damage.
