Can you fix my broken dental crown?

[Sharif]

Hello

I am on holiday here this week and whilst I was enjoying dinner last night my front dental crown fractured at the tip and bit of the porcelain came off. Its left a very ugly metal bit and I am now affraid to show my front teeth. Thankfully I have no pain, because I think the tooth has had its nerves removed. This tooth crown was put in 10 years ago in Pakistan and I am hoping to get it replaced once I go back there. Can anything temporary be done in the meantime to fix this broken dental crown?

Thank you for your question.

We can repair your crown as a temporary measure with white filling and this will cover up the metal within that crown and make it appear as normal. However on your return home, you will need to have the crown replaced.

Please call the emergency dentist on-call on 0208 547 9997 or 0208 481 0003 to book an emergency consultation.
