Can crowns be removed after they are glued on?

I may be getting a gold crown glued on my back molar this Friday. If I change my mind later on that I want it replaced with a porcelain crown will they be able to remove the gold crown once it's glued on without damaging my molar? Or is the glue so strong that a crown can never be removed once it is glued on?

Can crowns be removed after they are glued on?
The crown would have to be cut off but it shouldn't damage the underlying tooth structure, though it may have to be re prepared, depending on the time frame in which you change your mind, which means they will have to cut the tooth back a little more. For your own best interests maybe you should decide which crown you really want so as to save yourself time and money.

Reply:Actually there are two types of (glue) in dentistry we called it cement either temporary or permenant.If the temporary one is used it will be easy to remove the crown but if the permenant one is used it will be really difficult to remove it because it can cause tooth brakage or if the dentist want to safe the tooth from any damage he will just cut the old crown which will be of no use.





it's your decision!!!!!!


if you are concerned with esthetic i advise you to ask for the porcelain crown ,yes it's more expensive but it worth it and as i know no one is using gold crowns any more here in my country!!!!!
Reply:It is no problem to remove a crown. The doctor will either tap it off or remove it with the bur of a handpiece (the drill). He will numb you first not because it hurts per say, but because once the underlying tooth is exposed, it may be sensitive. He will remove it quite easily and you probably won't even know the moment it comes off. No worries.
Reply:If you want to test-drive your crown, ask to have it placed with a soft temporary cement. Removing a crown that has been permanently cemented ALWAYS creates some risk of damaging the tooth, as in breaking it off right at the gumline. You do NOT want to take that risk. Even removing it if a temp cement has been used might not be easy, but at least there is less risk of breaking your tooth off.





You can have the crown placed on the tooth with no cement and take a look in the mirror before the dentist proceeds with any cementation. You might be able to decide right then and there about whether or not you will be satisfied with a gold crown.





See my other answer about some reasons that gold may have been used in the first place.
Reply:I HAVE ALREADY RESPONDED TO YOU REGARDING THIS ISSUE. GOLD IS REALLY THE BEST CHOICE.


ps.you would also pay for another crown too
Reply:why not?
Reply:I'm pretty sure they can take it off, yes. Because my dentist is going to have to take my crown off because it doesn't fit right, and they are going to have to fix it.
Reply:Your molar is already damaged or you wouldn't need a crown. Yes, you can get a different one later. It hurts to take the old one %26amp; glue off, so make them numb you up. My a** of a dentist didn't %26amp; I nearly smacked him.
Reply:Yes, the dentist can cut it off. But why gold???????????????


Porcelain is more esthetic!!!
