When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are a versatile treatment that can be used to address a variety of functional and aesthetic concerns. Some situations where a dental crown might be needed include:
- Tooth Decay: Crowns may be used when a tooth is severely decayed and cannot support a filling.
- Cracked or Fractured Teeth: Dental crowns can protect and hold together a cracked or broken tooth.
- Large Fillings: When a large portion of the tooth is filled, the tooth structure may need additional support from a crown.
- Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, crowns can be used to strengthen the treated tooth.
- Dental Implants: Custom crowns are used to restore single-tooth dental implants.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns may be placed to improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
- Worn Teeth: For teeth that are severely worn down due to grinding or erosion, crowns can provide support and aesthetic improvements.
- Support for Dental Bridge: Crowns may be placed on top of the adjacent healthy teeth to support a dental bridge that replaces a missing tooth.
