The dental crown is a custom-made dental prosthesis for each specific patient. They are like small caps that allow us to completely cover a tooth that has been damaged for various reasons.
In which cases is a dental crown necessary?
Some of the main indications that exist to place a crown are:
· The tooth has a cavity that is too large for a filling.
· The tooth is worn, weakened or cracked.
· The tooth exposed to endodontic treatment increasing its fragility.
· The tooth is poorly shaped or discolored and you want to improve its appearance.
