You may need a crown if you
- have worn fillings
- cracked a tooth
- have a failing crown
- have a large cavity
- after root canal treatment
A crown will strengthen and protect a tooth whereas a filling doesn't. You have a choice of materials when you have a crown:
- Porcelain (white) crowns, available privately with great cosmetics
- Gold for maximum strength (usually for back teeth)
Your dentist will discuss the options in your case. |
