My Dental Implant Crown Keeps Coming Loose. Have You Ever Heard Of This Happening?

January 19th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Fahey, I hope you can help me. My dental implant crown has come loose 4 times in the last year and the screw has been tightened each time which only lasts a few weeks at a time. Have you ever heard of this happening? Twice it has happened while I was flossing under it. It doesn’t hurt at all, it’s just the crown is coming loose which worries me. Any advice? Can we glue that screw in there?My dentist is considering ordering some new part but he told me he has never seen this before. Thanks.

Patients says her Atlantis crown is clicking and loose. What should I do?

December 6th, 2013
Q.

Hello and thank you for allowing question. I fitted an Atlantis crown on an Astratech implant on my patient last friday. today she was in the practice and telling me that she heard a click and that the crown was moving. I checked the crown and it was not loose but very slight movement . I would like to know what has gone wrong and what to do next in such a case? can it be that the abutment is not tightened properly? will i need toget the patient back to try to unscrew the abutment for a fix? or cut the crown and unscrew the abutment? i would be grateful for some advise in this case

I think my dental crown is loose, what should I do?

June 6th, 2011
Q.
I had a crown on implant placed approx 2 weeks ago on my front tooth next to post crown on the other front tooth. Although I am unable to move the tooth when i try to with my fingers etc, touching the back top of the tooth with my tongue it feels spongy and like it is loose. I am reluctant to re-visit the dentist as im not sure the crown is loose, but it is bothering me daily. Im wondering if because I have had a temporary bridge in for so long (around 8 month) and this came loose twice, whether i am getting some false sensation, and just imagining it, is this possible? many thanks for any advice.,

you need to go back and have i… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
