Dental crowns

If your tooth has had a huge filling or a root canal before, you may need a crown. A crown, or cap, is like an external covering for the tooth to prevent it from breaking or chipping. If we notice that your tooth has a crack in it with an existing old filling, a crown may also be recommended.

Imagine your car windscreen having a crack in it. You would change it to prevent any chance of it shattering when it goes over a speed bump, right? Similarly, we would not wish for your teeth to break when you are enjoying a steak at a fancy restaurant!
