F.A.Q and Answer :D
FAQ: Why do I need a crown? Can't you just fill it?
Answer-A tooth can only be filled so much before it becomes weak and can break or even fracture. If the cusp (pointy edge) of a tooth breaks, or the inside or outside surface of a tooth is broken, then a crown is the treatment of choice and the best long term option. A crown or "cap" covers the entire tooth and provides the best protection. Crowns can be made of metal, porcelain, or a combination of both. With todays advanced materials, we can make a crown entirely out of porcelain so it looks and feels just like a natural tooth.
