I have a few crowns on my teeth and the first was fitted in the late 1980's by my dentist in Spalding, Lincolnshire - about 35 years ago. It detached from the tooth base yesterday and I now have an appointment with my new dentist in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, tomorrow. I am hoping that it can be re-attached without any fuss.
This crown has taken a battering in all of that time. The tooth that was opposed to this was removed last year. The one thing I did notice is that the fabric of the crown has been worn down to the adhesive on the lingual (lip side) surface. I hope this is not a problem.....!
P.S. The crown is too badly worn to refit. I now have an appointment for the prep and fitting of a new zirconian white crown. That will be fun. I have put the gold crown in my fossil cabinet.
