Re-cementing a crown once is an annoyance. A third time, you begin to wonder what is left underneath. Meadows West residents can have that tooth checked at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
When a crown keeps coming loose, the problem may be with the crown, or it may lie with the tooth holding it. Sometimes very little solid tooth is left under old dental work. Sometimes a new crown or other repair is entirely reasonable. It is hard to know from the outside.
This page is for Meadows West residents at that fork in the road, wondering whether an implant might be the next step. The tooth has to be assessed first, because keeping a sound tooth is worth considering. If it can’t be kept, an implant is one way of replacing it, with a new custom crown carried on a foundation in the jaw instead of on the old root.

The reason a crown fails determines what is worth doing about it, so that question gets answered first.
An implant only enters the conversation when it looks like a sensible answer for the tooth you have.
If it has come off, keep it somewhere safe and bring it in, since it may help the clinician understand what happened.
Once the tooth has been examined, your options usually fall into one of two broad groups. Which one applies comes down to what is left and how healthy it is.
Enough healthy structure may remain to support a crown again, possibly with further work done first. Your natural root stays where it is.
A tooth too damaged to rebuild may need extraction. Implant treatment could then follow in phases, or a bridge or denture might be chosen instead.
A crown on an implant and a crown on a natural tooth may look alike, but they’re supported differently and come with their own maintenance needs.
Treat the first visit as an investigation. Before anyone weighs tooth replacement, the priority is finding out what has been going on beneath that crown.
Request your visitExplain how old it is, how many times it has come off and whether anything was hurting when it did.
The exposed tooth, or the tooth under the crown if it’s still attached, is examined along with the surrounding gum.
X-rays can show the root and surrounding bone. If an implant looks likely, three-dimensional imaging gives a fuller picture of the site.
You’ll hear which paths look workable and what each one involves, from another crown through to extraction and replacement.
Store a crown that has come off in a small clean container, away from pets and the garbage bin. Those little things are easy to lose, and they may give useful information.
Unsure how to manage until your appointment? Call the clinic and ask what to do in the meantime.
A white table in a consultation room, and the reception desk.
It’s easy to feel you’ve wasted money on repeated repairs or caused the trouble yourself. Crowns can fail for many reasons, and you can leave blame out of the conversation.
An exposed tooth can react to air or cold, so mention any discomfort when you phone the clinic.
If the tooth shows when you smile, ask how it could be handled while you sort out a longer-term solution.
Ask for the choices to be explained a second time if you feel rushed by an unexpected piece of news.
Natural root or implant
New crowns have to be looked after, wherever they’re anchored. Natural teeth can still decay under a crown, while an implant’s surrounding gum and bone can become diseased if plaque builds up.
Find out how to clean along the gumline of your new restoration, which is where trouble often starts.
Heavy or uneven contact may contribute to problems, so bite checks are a sensible part of ongoing visits.
Tell the clinic if a crown begins to shift or you notice bleeding, drainage or discomfort with pressure.

Not automatically. The crown may have worn, or the tooth might simply need attention. An implant generally comes up only when the tooth can’t reasonably be kept.
Implant restorations are custom made to connect through an abutment, so a crown shaped for a natural tooth wouldn’t normally carry over. A new one would be planned for the site.
Sometimes, depending on how much is left, its root and the health of the surrounding gum. Only an examination with X-rays can tell you whether a repair has a reasonable outlook.
Timing depends on the site, infection and how much bone is present. Some plans call for a healing stage first, and that’s a good question to ask at your assessment.
A bare tooth may be more fragile and sensitive, and can be harder to keep clean. Call the clinic instead of waiting, so it can be looked at promptly.
Depending on what the exam shows, you may want to learn about new crowns, root canal therapy, or how a tooth is removed with future replacement in mind.
