Permanent?: If you mean can't go back for your permanent, yes it would be bad. The temporary is not permanently sealed and will not protect your tooth from decay and your gums from periodontal disease. It is likely to fall off and if you can't get back soon your teeth will move making harder if not impossible to use the permanent crown that is waiting for you.

Make Time: Many times we put other things ahead of our health. But i would like to suggest that you put your health first. Wearing a temp. Crown for too long can cause more problems. The permanent crown may not fit properly because the temp. Crown worn out badly. Temporary restoration is just that, temporary. Please go back and get the permanent one cemented a. S. A. P.

Everything temporary: While rarely dental temporaries are designed to last a year or more, most are designed with soft acrylic &weak cement to protect the tooth & hold its space open no longer than the 2-3 weeks for "permanent" crown to return from a lab. Delaying the perm. Crown can result in new decay, "collapse" of space and at the least, a costly "remake." find the time and/ or money? Now or expend more latter!

Yes, it's bad.: Temporary crowns are made of materials that are not wear resistant enough to use for very long. As the chewing surface wears it will allow the tooth and and the ones that meet with it to move. Now your real crown will not fit and you will need to start the process all over again. Also, the cement keeping the crown on your tooth washes out quickly and the crown falls off or the tooth decays.

Oops!: You can't find time now? I see this every once in awhile, and then the patient returns months or even a year later because they were in no pain and the temporary fit well and looked relatively good. Oops, they come back with a bigger problem and often have to spend more money, invest more time and sometimes even lose the tooth. You are an adult and the choice is yours. Waiting is a big mistake!

Margins: Temporary crowns are generally cemented on with temporary cements. Temporary crown margins are not ideal, especially long term. The material itself is not made for long term either. Risks are all up to you.

Temps and time: Temps hold the gums back from the crown preparation which then takes extra time to be removed on your seat date. Temps also keep teeth from moving and shifting into the prep space. This makes the crown seat appointment more time intensive for the necessary adjustments. Find the time, you will be glad you did.

Get final crown: You must find the time to go back and get the final crown. A temporary crown is weak and can break. The edges of the temporary crown where it meets the tooth surface is also not as tight as the final crown, so the longer you wait, the greater possibility that you could have a cavity under the temporary crown. The temporary cement is also weaker and more easily dissolved and crown can come off.

See DDS ASAP: Did the dentist take the impression for the final restoration? You do not want the tooth to decay out,fracture or bodily move. Follow through with the permanent restoration will potentially save the tooth in the long run.
