Dental crowns indications

After the tooth has been endodontically treated it needs a crown over it to strenghten it. Perhaps there are other reasons too when a dentist might consider giving crowns to teeth, but root canal treated teeth is the most common indication when a crown is cemented.

Some of the conditions which require a crown to be placed on teeth are:
  • Advanced tooth destruction

    Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth. A badly broken or decayed tooth needs to be strengthened with a crown because this cannot be done with a filling alone.

    The crown will keep the cracked tooth together and protect it ; thus, it prevents or delays having to have the tooth extracted.
  • Tooth shows large fillings that need replacement

    Many times, after removing large old fillings, a crown is indicated to strengthened the tooth and make it aesthetically more pleasing.

Improving tooth aesthetics

Dental crowns may be designed to improve the appearance of a tooth. For example, the tooth shows large, unsightly fillings, discolorations or the tooth is stained or unusually shaped. Many patients simply want to have their smile aesthetically improved.
For best results, ceramic crowns are preferred.

To cover dental implants

Implants in dentistry are placed into the jawbone to replace one or more missing teeth. Once Osseointegration occurs, implants may then be fitted with a number of different prostheses: dental crowns, bridges or removable dentures.
