Why Do I Need a Dental Crown?
There are several reasons why an individual may need a crown. These reasons include the following:
- You have a tooth that requires a large filling, teeth that need a filling which covers half the tooth (or more) may need the protection a dental crown provides as the remaining tooth could be weak and prone to fracture.
- If you have received a root canal, the affected tooth has been hollowed out so that the infected pulp material could be removed. That leaves the tooth in a weakened state and prone to fracture. The protection a dental crown provides is necessary to protect the tooth.
- If you have a tooth, which you think is unattractive due to its color, shape or the space on either side, a dental crown can be utilized as a cosmetic solution that results in a natural and beautiful appearance.
