1. You Have a Cracked or Broken Tooth
If your tooth has visible cracks or pieces are chipped off, a crown can hold it together and protect it from further damage.
2. A Large Filling Is Breaking Down
When a filling covers more than 50% of your tooth, the remaining structure may be too weak to stand on its own. A crown will reinforce it.
3. Youโve Had a Root Canal
After a root canal, the tooth becomes more brittle. A crown seals and protects it from breakage.
4. Youโre Experiencing Pain When Chewing
Discomfort when biting may signal cracks or weakened enamel. A crown can relieve pain by restoring structure.
5. Your Tooth Is Misshapen or Severely Worn
Crowns can improve the shape and look of teeth that are worn down, flat, or severely discolored.
