I have a temporary crown in my mouth, what happens if it comes off or breaks?
Unless it is a painful or cosmetic problem, there is no immediate concern. If it happens during
business hours, we should be able to see you immediately. If after hours, we will let you be the judge,
but generally, it’s OK to wait until the next day to have the crown put back on.
