What Issues Can Crowns Correct?

Watch this video by Dr. Bruce Fine, an experienced New Jersey implant dentist, as he explains the different problems that can be solved with the simple application of dental crowns.

Crowns are necessary in various situations, primarily when individuals have failing fillings. The common scenario involves deteriorating fillings accompanied by significant decay, resulting in insufficient tooth structure to support a new filling. The rule of thumb here is that if two-thirds of the original tooth structure is lost or compromised, a crown becomes necessary. This applies not only to the top of the tooth but also to the sides where the filling extends. The reason behind this recommendation is that, in most cases, if a filling is too large and the tooth is not adequately supported, it is at risk of breaking.

Preventing tooth breakage is crucial, as it may lead to more extensive procedures like root canals or, in severe cases, tooth loss. Our primary goal is to save your teeth, ensuring they remain healthy and functional for the rest of your life.

We are more than happy to provide further information and find solutions tailored to your needs.
