24/7 Lost Filling & Crown Repair in Spokane
Yes — emergency dentists in Spokane repair or replace lost fillings and crowns 24/7. A missing restoration leaves your tooth unprotected and sensitive. Call anytime and we’ll connect you to the next‑available dentist for same‑day care across Spokane, Spokane Valley, and the I‑90 corridor.
Why Fillings and Crowns Come Loose
Wear and tear: Everyday chewing slowly loosens older restorations.
Decay under a crown/filling: New decay changes the fit and causes sensitivity.
Sticky or hard foods: Taffy, caramels, and nuts can pull a crown off or break a filling.
Grinding or clenching: Nighttime pressure can crack the edges.
Accidents or injuries: A fall or bite on a hard object can dislodge the restoration.
What To Do Right Now
Save the crown in a clean container — do not glue it yourself.
Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side.
If the tooth is sharp or painful, cover it with orthodontic wax or use temporary dental cement from a pharmacy.
Cold compress and OTC pain medication as labeled can reduce tenderness.
Call us for the earliest appointment; waiting can lead to more decay or a broken tooth.
What Happens at a Same‑Day Repair Visit
Exam & X‑rays: The dentist checks the tooth, old cement, and the fit of your crown.
Clean & Disinfect: Any decay or old cement is removed; the surface is prepared.
Re‑cementation: If the crown still fits, it’s polished and re‑cemented firmly.
New Restoration: If the crown/filling can’t be reused, a new one is planned; a temporary is placed to protect your tooth.
Bite Check: The dentist adjusts the bite so the tooth isn’t taking too much force.
Home Care: You receive instructions on eating and cleaning around the temporary.
Can This Wait?
If the tooth is sensitive, broken, or the inner dentin is visible, waiting increases your risk of infection and fracture. Timely care prevents a simple fix from turning into a root canal or extraction.
Costs, Insurance & Payment Options
Many partner clinics accept major PPO insurance; we can verify benefits before your visit.
No insurance? Ask about urgent‑care bundles (exam + X‑ray + temporary protection) and financing.
Apple Health/Medicaid: Availability varies; ask during your call.

FAQs — Lost Filling or Crown
Can I use superglue?
No. Household glues can damage tooth structure and gums.
Will the tooth be sensitive?
Yes, exposed dentin is often temperature‑sensitive; a temporary covering helps quickly.
Do I always need a brand‑new crown?
Not always. If the fit is good and there’s no decay, re‑cementation can work well.
What if the tooth is broken?
The dentist will stabilize it today and plan a crown, onlay, or other long‑term fix.
