Can a Porcelain Crown Stay on Half a Tooth?
This is a very common question. Many people have broken off a tooth, especially in the front, due to an accident or injury. Others have had a back tooth break off because of tooth decay. A porcelain crown can stay on half a tooth because of two reasons. First, it is specifically made to fit on that remaining half a tooth. Second, the crown is cemented into place with a high quality dental bonding agent. There is little chance of a porcelain crown falling off any tooth, even if there is only half a tooth remaining as its foundation.
