Lost Filling or Lost Crown
at Grimsby Lake Dental
Who this may help
Patients who lost a filling, crown, inlay, onlay, or temporary restoration, especially if the tooth is sensitive, rough, painful, or exposed.
What to expect
Bring the crown if you have it. The dentist checks the tooth and crown fit. If the tooth is healthy and the crown fits, recementing may be possible. If there is decay or damage, a new restoration may be needed.
About Lost Filling or Lost Crown
A lost filling or crown can leave a tooth sensitive and vulnerable to further damage. Keep the area clean, avoid chewing on that side, and contact the clinic so the tooth and restoration can be assessed.
Cost, Coverage,
and Planning
Fees depend on the exam findings, service type, materials, and complexity of treatment. We provide a clear estimate before care begins. CDCP may help with eligible services for approved patients, but coverage depends on eligibility, CDCP fee rules, co-payments, and whether preauthorization is required. Cosmetic treatment is usually not covered when it is purely elective.
