When dental work comes loose
Restorative & Prosthodontics for Robertson Residents
A crown in your hand, or a bridge that shifts when you press your tongue against it, is unsettling. Here is what to do right away and what the repair may involve.
Let's find a time
Request an appointment
First, phone us
Loose or lost work calls for a conversation.
If you live in Robertson, in Winnipeg, and a crown, bridge or filling has just moved or dropped out, please call the clinic rather than waiting. Hold on to the piece if you have it, stay away from sticky or hard foods, and leave the household glue in the drawer.
What happens next depends on why it let go. The tooth underneath may have changed through new decay, or a fracture or heavy bite forces may be involved. Examination at our McPhillips Street clinic shows whether the existing piece has a future or something new should be made.

Keep the piece
Put a dislodged crown or filling somewhere safe, then bring it along for the dentist to look at.
Protect the exposed tooth
Without its cover, a tooth can be sharp, sore or vulnerable, so chew on the other side where you can.
Call, do not click
A phone call lets the clinic ask what happened and talk about availability, which a web form cannot do.

After you call
Finding out why it failed, then fixing that.
A repair lasts longer when the cause is dealt with too, so the visit starts with questions rather than cement.
Request your visit- 01
Describe what happened
Tell us which tooth it is, when the work came loose, whether it hurts, and whether you still have the piece.
- 02
Check the foundation
The remaining tooth, root, gums and bite are evaluated, along with any X-rays that apply, to find the reason it let go.
- 03
Weigh your choices
Options might include a new restoration or a different design. Should a custom piece be needed, ask about a temporary while it is being made.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about restorative & prosthodontics in Robertson.
Ask our teamCan I glue my crown back on until I am seen?
Household glue should stay out of it. Store the crown safely, avoid foods that are sticky or hard, and phone the clinic for guidance.
Will my old crown go back on, or do I need a new one?
That cannot be judged by phone. The crown’s condition and the health of the tooth beneath it both decide the answer.
Why would a crown that lasted for years suddenly let go?
Possible reasons include new decay at the margin, a change in the supporting tooth, grinding, or an injury. The examination looks for the specific cause.
My bridge moves only slightly. Can that wait?
Let the clinic know soon. Movement or a change in how a bridge feels should be reported, because a natural anchor tooth beneath it may have a problem.
What if the part attached to my implant has become loose?
Contact us about any movement in an implant crown, bridge or denture component. The fix depends on which part has shifted, so it needs to be checked.
Can a lost filling be left alone if nothing hurts?
A tooth that has lost its filling is still more exposed than it should be, even when comfortable. Phone to explain what you noticed and ask how soon it should be seen.
What should a Robertson resident have ready when calling?
Know which tooth it is and when this began, whether there is pain, and whether you saved the piece. Dial (204) 338-3003 and have your medication list close by.
Non-urgent loose work?
Have that wobbly restoration checked.
