Question: I’ve heard that sometimes a person needs a dental crown for a cavity but sometimes decay just needs a filling. How do I know which one I need for my smile?
Answer: You’ll know when you come in. We will need to assess the extent of the decay and damage before we tell you whether you can receive a filling or if the damage is serious and requires a crown.
Question: I’m having some esthetic problems with my teeth. They don’t look as good as they could but I’m worried that porcelain veneers might not be good enough. If they’re not, may I choose porcelain crowns?
Answer: Of course! Crowns often provide patients with serious cosmetic concerns a wonderful next option for a beautified smile.
Question: What happens if my tooth is badly injured or infected? Will I definitely need a dental crown?
Answer: Assuming we can save your tooth and that it does not require an extraction (which happens when the damage is very severe), you will likely need a crown. It will give you back the stability and whole structure that your tooth had before the damage (or before the root canal you may require for an infection).
