When a Crown is Needed

A crown covers the entire tooth, restoring its size, shape, and strength. It also protects the tooth from damage or wear. Generally, there are two reasons a crown may be necessary.

Advanced decay has compromised a large portion of the tooth. If a cavity is treated when it is small, a simple filling is sufficient. However, if the tooth is no longer strong enough to support a filling, it will need to be crowned.
The tooth is badly fractured, or part of it is broken off, it may need a crown to restore it.
