Lost Fillings & Crowns

Emergency treatment for lost fillings and crowns

Fillings and crowns can become lost or fracture at any time. In some cases, fillings and crowns can partially debond and remain in place, but allow bacteria to penetrate underneath them and cause rapid decay and infection.

Although a missing filling or crown may not feel painful to begin with, it can start to hurt after a short period of time as food and other debris gather in the cavity. If this problem is left untreated, decay and infection may cause toothache and other pain.

If you have lost fillings and crowns, you should see an emergency dentist as soon as possible. Call us immediately on 020 8547 9997 or book your emergency appointment online.
