Why Is a Dental Crown Needed?
A dental crown is used to do any of the following: • To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down • To protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth • To hold a dental bridge in place • To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left • To cover a dental implant • To cover misshaped or severely discolored teeth
