Dental impression and crowns

[mon]

Hi has anyone had dental impressions taken after having a crown fitted ? I have a crown on a front tooth and need dental impressions taken.

I’m so worried it will pull the crown off

Hi mon, If the crown has been permanently cemented, the impression will not pull the crown off. If the crown is only a temporary crown while you wait for the permanent crown, there's a chance the temporary crown could come loose. No need to worry. It can just be recemented again with a temporary cement until your permanent crown is ready. Sometimes the dentist knows that this is going to happen but they still need to get the impression, (that happened to me). By now, Digital Scanners are available and people don't need to have impressions as often. The Digital Scanner is so much easier on the nervous/anxious patient.
I hope you are doing well now.
Best wishes to you
