Do I Need a Crown?
Dental crowns (sometimes called “caps”) are a protective cover that guards teeth with large cracks or cavities. The full coverage restoration slips over your tooth, protecting it against further damage. A crown may be recommended if your tooth has/is:
- A large cavity
- Severe wear or fractures
- Treated with a root canal
- Being replaced by a dental implant
- An old, large filling that is leaky
