A member asked:
Is it standard procedure to use temporary cement to attach a crown over a tooth implant? thanks
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The implant post that the crown is cemented to is attached to the implant with a small screw. Sometimes that screw loosens, or even breaks. Your dentist needs to be able to get to that screw to retighten it without destroying the crown, thus the need for the crown to be easily removed. Common and acceptable to retain crowns in this manner. Otherwise, a very expensive repair.

Yes and no: Depends upon the philosophy of the dentist. May get a variety of opinions on this subject.
