Can your dentist withhold your permanent crown due to nonpayment?

No, they cannot withhold your crown if they have already prepared the tooth. They are obligated to see the procedure through to completion once it has been started, regardless of payment status. However, this does not mean you do not have to pay or can get away without paying. If you do not pay, they will go through a collections process, or possibly even sue you for non-payment of services rendered. It is generally easier just to arrange payment terms than to deal with collections, legal concerns, credit concerns, and possibly wrecking whatever relationship you have with your dentist.

If your dentist took an impression of your teeth before putting in a crown but you did not have the whole procedure done is it legal for your dentist to charge you for a crown and all it entails?
Did you sign an agreement for the procedure? In my experience the impressions are made after the dentist has already built the core and installed a temporary crown. They usually order the permanent crown at that time, which they pay for. So the charge is justified. If this is not the case they should only be allowed to charge for the actual work done (office visit and taking the impression).

You could try asking the dentist about "bonding". I needed a crown, but my dentist chose not to crown it, but to build up the tooth. They matched it great and it's not that expensive.
Dental crowns crackle sound with ice cream type foods?
When you visit a dentist for your crown or bridge, your dentist will "prepare" - remove your old crown, remove cavities of your tooth, etc. Then your dentist will take an impression of your "prepared" tooth and send it to a dental lab. The dental lab will then make your crown or bridge to replace your "prepared" tooth. Depending on the lab, your crown can be very good or not so good. When your dental crown crackles it is because of your crown is not prepared well. For more information about Dental crown visit www.identallab.com

Can you superglue a crown back onto your tooth?
You could do that, but I would not recommend it.First, you need to find out WHY the crown came off. If it is because of new dental decay, you want to have that taken care of by a dentist before you need a root canal.Second, super glue is not very effective as a dental cement. The crown will probably come off very soon again.Third, when a crown is placed, the dentist needs to check the bite. If it is off, even by a fraction of a millimeter, it can cause untold misery.Just see a dentist. If the crown can be re-cemented, the dentist can do it properly and quickly.
Why does your gums hurt a week after having a temp crown put on a tooth with a root canal?
More than likely, the gums are either irritated by the temporary crown or they are inflamed due to inadequate oral hygiene. Ask your dentist for a prescription of Chlorhexedine Gluconate .12% (trade names are Peridex or Periogard). Rinse and brush with it daily until your permanent crown is placed.
