When a Crown May Be Considered
A crown may be suggested after a large filling, a fracture, or root canal treatment, when a tooth needs extra support.
What the Process Can Involve
Treatment usually takes two or more visits: preparing the tooth, placing a temporary crown, and fitting the final crown once it is ready.
Questions to Ask
Ask about materials, alternatives, how long a crown may last, and how to care for it day to day.
