Hello
Don’t worry the crown can be re cemented if the same crown is fitting properly . Let the dentist examine and decide for the same.
Next Steps
Visit the dentist asap.
Health Tips
Make sure not to bite from that tooth as the tooth is weak as it doesn’t have a cover so might fracture. Get the crown re cemented and then start eating from that side .

Hi..there is nothing to worry. The crown can be re-cemented again, unless there is any damage to the tooth structure or crown.
Next Steps
You should visit the dentist as soon as possible and get it re-cemented.

Coming out of crowns after few years is pretty normal, 2 years is lil early though. They can be re-cemented, provided the fitting should be fine on the tooth margins. Probability of recementation is good if u visit to a dentist within a week irrespective of the metal/ metal ceramic or metal free.
