The surgeon was wonderful, and his follow-up care was thorough. I thanked my dentist for referring me to the surgeon. I received three implants, and my dentist restored them with beautiful crowns. I also received a new crown for a root canal tooth. But that crown is nothing but trouble. Within the past two months, the crown fell off four times. My dentist is happy to reattach it, but I am getting frustrated.<\/p>\n<p>My dentist said that if it keeps happening, he will order a new crown. He doesn\u2019t seem to know how to stop the problem without a new crown. I am concerned that all the work on this tooth has made it even weaker. And how do I know I won\u2019t have the same problem with a new crown? I don&#8217;t like walking away from my dentist, but I&#8217;m not sure he knows what to do about this crown. Is my tooth going to crumble away and fall apart? Thank you. Rhys from NY<\/p>\n<p>Rhys,<\/p>\n<p>We are happy you had a good dental implant and implant crown experience. Unfortunately, the root canal tooth and crown are causing problems. It is frustrating when a crown repeatedly falls off, but identifying the problem is relatively easy.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Does a Dental Crown Keep Falling Off?<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_2377\" style=\"width: 363px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2377\" class=\" wp-image-2377\" src=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/dental-crown.jpg\" alt=\"Dental crown\" width=\"353\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/dental-crown.jpg 440w, https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/dental-crown-300x232.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2377\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dental crowns must be secured to protect a tooth<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A dental crown can fall off due to bonding strength or the shape of the prepared tooth. Either or both factors can cause a crown to loosen and fall off.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tooth preparation:<\/strong> When a dentist slightly tapers your natural tooth in preparation for a crown, it increases the surface contact between the crown and tooth. Even the weakest cement will keep the crown on.
