A dental crown, also sometimes called a ‘cap,’ is used to restore and protect a tooth that has been severely worn down, damaged, or cracked.  A crown protects a weakened tooth from future catastrophic damage.  If a crown is needed, but not done, this may increase the risk to eventually lose that tooth in the future.

 

Signs You May Need a Crown

You notice crack lines in your tooth

Your tooth is completely or partially broken

Your tooth has a very large filling that has started to break down

You have had a recent Root Canal Therapy performed on a tooth.
