Why Do You Need a Crown (Wasaga Sun Article) Often times , when a dentist advises a person that a tooth should be restored with a crown, the patient responds with “it seems fine now, if something happens to it I will crown it later”. There are several reasons that this may end up causing problems much larger then the original issue. Sometimes when a tooth has a very large filling, or possibly some crack lines in it, your dentist may advise a crown, even though the tooth seems fine now. A crown covers the entire tooth, and acts to protect and support the remaining tooth material. Teeth with larger fillings or cracks are prone to breaking, and if the tooth breaks far below the gumline it can result in the need for a root canal and gum surgery to restore the tooth, or worse, the tooth may require extraction. As well, very large fillings tend to break down around the edges, causing leakage, and possible need for root canal or extraction. When most people think of a crown they think of doing it for appearance. But in fact, the vast majority of crowns done are for back teeth, and even though they are esthetic looking, the main purpose they serve is to protect and support the tooth. So even though the tooth may seem okay now, doing a crown before problems occur can prevent time consuming and expensive procedures in the future.
