ive had the crown for over 2 years before i got it the dentist did a root canal on the tooth. when i was eating the crown just slipped out. it was completely painless it just came off. i washed it off brushed the inside of it and checked if it would fit back in. it did it fit back in and felt the same as it did before it fell out. so would the dentist just reglue it in? or would i have to get a completely new one? also the tooth under the crown looks the same as it did before i got the permanent one so i dont think any damage was done to it. (the temp crown came off because i had to wait so long for them to schedule me in to get my permanent one)

Usually a crown can be recemented back on but sometimes there could be
decay and Dr will have to remove that and sometimes the old crown will no
longer fit and you will need a new one.

If the crown and the tooth are ok it can usually be recemented. You can go to the pharmacy and get some temporary dental cement if it is a front tooth and you don't want to run around "Gappy"
If you are seeing the same dentist that put it on originally, lots of times they don't charge you anything. Probably no more than on office visit no matter what. Maybe an xray if the tooth looks funny tothem.

A dentist can re-cement it. But you might want to consider the expertise of the dentist that put it on - it shouldn't have fallen off. Crowns can last a lifetime if they're done properly.

Your dentist will prob place it back on. There shouldn't be any charge. Mines was quick too.

You can re-glue it yourself. Any pharmacy has dental glue.
