Lost Fillings, Crown & Veneer
Lost Fillings, Crown & Veneer Re-cementation
Fillings, crown and veneer can be lost or fracture at any time. In some cases, fillings, crowns, or veneers can partially de-bond and remain in place but allow bacteria to penetrate underneath them and cause rapid decay and infection. For this reason, patients who have lost fillings and crowns, should see an emergency dentist ASAP.

What course of action should be taken for lost fillings, veneers & crowns?
- Individuals who feel their crown or filling has come loose in their mouth should ensure they do not swallow it. The fixture should be placed in a safe place and taken to a dental appointment as it may be possible for a dental professional to simply replace it.
- Using antiseptic mouthwash if a filling or crown has fallen out is an effective way of making sure the area remains clean until treatment can be sought, while some people may have the use of a temporary dental kit that is available from a range of pharmacies
What will Emergency Dentist Edinburgh do?
- Replacing lost fillings, veneers & dental crowns is a relatively simple procedure for an Emergency Dentist to carry out, with the practitioner initially clearing any debris from the cavity and check to ensure further decay has not set in.
- While dentists expect treatments such as fillings, veneers & dental crowns to last around ten years, this depends on the types of materials used to create the fixture, as well as the quality of the substance used to manufacture the implement.
- It is vital for patients to give their fitting veneer or crown time to strengthen and the cement to harden, with many dentists recommending that brushing is avoided for the first 24-hours, or that the teeth are cleaned extremely lightly.
- A dental professional will also recommend that certain foods and drinks are consumed for a certain period, including items such as soft chewy sweets and crunchy items. However, there is no definitive list of things patients should or should not eat.
