Floating teeth is the description given to the appearances on imaging of teeth 'hanging in the wind' as a result of alveolar bone destruction around the root of the teeth.

The temporary crown is also important, but for different reasons. The temporary crown is essential for comfort, appearance and to maintain the position of the adjacent teeth for the permanent crown. When a tooth is shaped for a crown, the more sensitive areas of the tooth are usually exposed. The temporary crown acts as a blanket for the tooth, insulating it from hot and cold foods and drinks. The temporary crown is also needed to help maintain the appearance of the tooth while the permanent crown is being made. A trimmed tooth can be unattractive without the temporary, especially if the tooth is near the front of the mouth.
