A problem with dental crown sensitivity is the most common type of complaint with this restoration. It can happen right after tooth preparation for several reasons. There may be exposed nerves if the temporary crown does not completely cover the freshly cut tooth surface. The final restoration should cover all of the tooth and eliminate the sensitivity. If sensitivity continues or occurs months or years after the crown has been placed, it may be that the bite is high or the tooth is dying.

          Getting loose or falling off is another problem with dental crown restorations. The reason for the difficulty must be determined to correct it. A restoration can fall off because the tooth may not have been prepared correctly and the shape of the underlying tooth preparation is not able to hold the crown in place. There is a big difference between a loose crown and a loose tooth. A loose tooth is probably due to severe periodontal disease and a loose crown is due to a cement failure.

          There can sometimes be an allergic problem with dental crown restorations. Some dental alloys contain nonprecious metals that causes allergic reactions. Typically the gums swell up all around the base of the restoration and the patient may also experience other types of allergic symptoms.
