6 Reasons You May Need a Dental Crown

We understand that you may not get excited when we recommend a crown for one of your teeth, but it can be one of the best things you can do for it. We think of crowning a tooth as protecting it with a suit of armor as it will be wrapped in dental materials that are strong, fracture resistant and will keep it safe.

Dental crowns are usually recommended for teeth that have serious damage or are at risk of breaking. We are very grateful that we have the ability do them because without crowns these teeth would likely be lost.

The main reasons we recommend crowns are to:

• Hold a cracked or fractured tooth together
• Protect a tooth that has been severely damaged
• Improve the appearance of a tooth in your smile
• Protect a tooth that has had a root canal
• Help replace a missing adjacent tooth
• Create a natural looking and functioning tooth over a dental implant

We encourage you to ask any questions you have about your recommended dental treatment, including dental crowns. We want to be sure that you are clear and comfortable before moving forward.
