Why You Need It
Why a Dental Crown Is Needed
A dental crown becomes necessary when a tooth is severely decayed, cracked, broken, or significantly weakened — often following a root canal or large filling. Left unprotected, a compromised tooth is vulnerable to fracturing under normal biting pressure, which can result in complete tooth loss.
Crowns are also used to restore teeth that are badly worn down, restore teeth large existing restorations that put the tooth at risk of fracturing, or to improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth. Dr. Paulina Labuz will carefully evaluate whether a crown is the most appropriate solution for your specific situation.
