Are crowns right for saving my fractured tooth?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Advice from dentist in Weybridge with special interest in cosmetic dentistry

Crowns offer an aesthetic solution when little tooth structure remains following a fracture. Crowns may be the best option if you:

  • Have lost too much tooth structure to allow contouring or bonding
  • Are willing and able to spend more time and money on the procedure
  • Want an esthetic solution that allows change in tooth shade and shape

If you fracture a front tooth so badly that there is little tooth structure left, a crown is probably the treatment of choice. If a back tooth fractures, it also may be best restore it with a crown. The procedure should be performed immediately, especially if the pulp is exposed and living nerves are unprotected.
