It may be possible to repair a chipped dental crown, depending on how much of it is damaged, and how severe it is. If the chip isn’t large, your dentist may repair it with resin, a composite material the same color as the tooth. In some cases, the crown just needs to be reshaped and smoothed.

Why did my crown and post fell out?

The thin margin where the tooth meets the edge of the crown can decay in instances such as a high sugar diet, poor oral care in general, or if a gap forms from an ill-fitted crown. In this case, the decay will weaken the tooth and cause the crown to fall out. It’s also possible that the crown’s bonder has failed.

Can a dentist fix a broken post?

A post could need to be removed because either the tooth needs to undergo endodontic re-treatment or the post has fractured.

A: Crown With Post If that tooth really is solid with no decay present, it could be recemented. That would be the least expensive option. The crown/post came out for a reason.
