Usually, a dental crown is recommended if a tooth is damaged. For example, if a tooth is severely decayed, it may have lost too much of its structure to be restored with an ordinary filling. Placing an ordinary filling would not be strong enough to protect and preserve the tooth.

Dental crowns are often used to restore teeth that have received root canal therapy. This is where a tooth has become severely infected and has likely suffered extensive decay. A root-treated tooth can become brittle afterward, so protecting it helps preserve it for longer.

Sometimes tooth damage is caused by trauma. For example, if you take a blow to a front tooth, it could chip or crack it severely. If this happens, seeing an emergency dentist quickly can help protect the tooth and prepare it for a crown restoration.

It’s also possible to have purely cosmetic dental crowns, sometimes referred to as caps on teeth. These can be made to fit over teeth that are severely discolored, worn down, too small, or not an appealing shape. If you’re weighing a crown against a less invasive cosmetic option, our comparison of veneers vs. crowns breaks down which is the better fit.
