Why Would I Need a Crown or Bridge?

After a thorough dental examination, your dental expert will inform you whether you are a suitable candidate for crowns and bridges or not. You may require a crown or a bridge if:

• Badly broken or decayed teeth: A tooth that has lost most of its structure to any accident, trauma or dental decay may not be able to support itself for a long duration. It may crush and crumble under the massive chewing forces and hence, need reinforcement in some or the other form. The best way to protect such teeth is to place a crown over them.
• Stained or discolored teeth: When a tooth becomes very unattractive due to heavy discoloration like those seen in case of severe fluorosis, placement of dental crowns is the only possible solution to improve the appearance of such teeth.
• Missing teeth: One of the best and reliable techniques of replacing missing tooth or teeth is by preparation of crowns and bridges.
• Root canal treated teeth: If your teeth have undergone root canal therapy they become dry and fragile and susceptible to undergo fracture even under light chewing forces.
