Why a Dental Crown Might Be the Best Solution

When a tooth is significantly weakened, a dental crown can act like a protective “cap,” restoring strength and preventing further damage.

What Makes a Tooth “Compromised”?

You’ll often need a crown if:

Very little healthy tooth structure remains — too little to reliably support a filling
The tooth has suffered cracks, fractures, or heavy wear
A large filling already occupies most of the tooth, making it fragile
The tooth has had a root canal and now needs reinforcement

In these situations, a crown offers a way to safeguard what’s left of the tooth, preventing it from breaking or deteriorating further.

How a Crown Protects the Tooth

By covering the entire visible surface, a crown:

Distributes chewing forces more evenly, reducing the chance of future breakage
Seals and protects the vulnerable edges from bacteria or further decay
Restores shape and function, allowing you to bite, chew, and speak normally again

Ready to Restore Strength & Confidence?

If your tooth feels weak, cracked, or you’ve been told a filling might not last, it’s worth exploring a crown.
