Lost Filling or Crown

Prompt Care to Protect Your Tooth from Further Damage

A lost filling or crown can expose the inner structure of your tooth, leading to sensitivity, pain, and an increased risk of decay or infection. This often happens due to wear, biting on hard foods, or weakened dental restorations—and it should be addressed as soon as possible.

At Palmetto Dental Studio, we treat lost fillings and crowns as dental emergencies when discomfort or exposure is present. Our team will examine the affected tooth, protect it from further damage, and recommend the best solution to restore strength and function. Treatment may involve replacing the filling or crown or providing a temporary solution until a permanent restoration is ready.

Prompt treatment helps relieve discomfort, protect your tooth, and prevent more complex dental problems.
