Cracked Crown? Let Us Help

If they’re taken care of, dental crowns can last for up to fifteen years. However, even if you practice good oral hygiene, accidental damage to a crown can occur. Fortunately, a cracked crown is not an emergency situation, though it is a good idea to see a dentist as soon as possible. Dr. Saman Saghafi is a dentist at Smiles To Remember in Woodinville, WA., where he provides general and cosmetic dental services. He is always on hand to fix a cracked crown.

What You Should Do with a Cracked Crown


Woodinville dental patients who have a cracked crown should follow these steps:

  • Examine the tooth: Try to get a look at the cracked crown if possible. Gently run your tongue over it to see how sensitive the tooth is and if there are any sharp edges. If the crown is loose and not painful you might want to remove it before it falls off to avoid swallowing it.

  • Judge your level of pain: Do you feel pain when you breathe in through your mouth? Does the cracked crown have any sharp edges that could hurt your tongue or mouth tissue? If you are in a lot of pain and the crown has jagged edges, you should seek dental treatment immediately.

  • Contact your dentist: If you are not in pain, then the crown does not need to be fixed immediately. Contact your dentist as soon as possible so that you can get your cracked crown repaired or replaced. Often a crown can be repaired by bonding with composite resin. Before your dentist repairs your crown, he may also have to do some work on your underlying tooth.


If you live in or around Woodinville, and you have a cracked crown, call Dr. Saghafi at (425) 424-0744 to request an appointment.
