Crowns
What is crown?
A crown is a durable, protective cover that helps restore the function, strength, and appearance of a tooth that is damaged or compromised. Your dentist will determine if it’s the best solution based on the condition of your tooth.
Why might I need a crown?
A Crown might be recommended by your dentist for several reasons.
1. Severe Tooth Decay: If a large cavity or decay is present and there’s not enough tooth structure left to support a filling, a crown can cover and protect the weakened tooth.
2. Cracked or Fractured Tooth: A crown can restore and strengthen a tooth that has cracked or is at risk of breaking, preventing further damage.
3. Worn-Down Teeth: Teeth that have been worn down due to grinding, aging, or heavy use may need a crown to restore their size, shape, and function.
4. Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a tooth can become brittle and may need a crown to protect it and restore its strength and appearance.
5. Cosmetic Improvement: If a tooth is misshapen, discolored, or otherwise unattractive, a crown can improve both its function and appearance.
6. Large Fillings: If a filling is large and the remaining tooth structure is not sufficient to support it, a crown might be used to restore the tooth and prevent it from breaking.
