Sometimes a piece of a filling or the tooth may come loose. This can be due to prolonged stress, acute injuries, or the development of cavities along the edge of the filling, causing it to lose its attachment. It’s advisable to treat this promptly to prevent further damage. If larger pieces come loose, the tooth has previously been root-treated, or there is little remaining of the tooth itself, rebuilding with filling material may not be the most optimal treatment. In such cases, we will temporarily restore the tooth during your first visit and then plan for further treatment, such as a crown.

We examine the damage, relieve any pain, and create a temporary or permanent replacement based on the assessment during the appointment.

• X-ray if necessary
• Anesthesia  
• Customized filling, either temporary or permanent based on the situation
