If your tooth is Badly Broken down and damaged due to decay or trauma, you need to take action to address the problem. Large fillings and crowns are both potential treatments for these types of dental problems, and while they both can be used to make repairs, the procedures are not the same. Compared to large fillings, crowns have a number of key benefits, making them the better option overall for most people. Read on to find out why.
A crown is a ceramic or porcelain cap that is placed over an existing tooth to protect and cover it. With fillings, we use a composite resin or Porcelain inlay or onlay to fill in Badly Broken down and damaged Tooth.

For large areas of decay or Badly Broken down and damaged Tooth, crowns offer a number of advantages over fillings, including:
Since crowns are one of the more common restorations that people need on their teeth, most dentist are regularly asked the question, “Do I really need a crown.” It is a completely fair question because even with insurance, crowns may cost you hundreds of dollars at a time.
The reason they are recommended frequently is that a dental crown is often the best option to extend the life of a tooth for years to come. However, there are options in treating a tooth which may delay the need for a crown.
In some cases, while a crown is one option, there can be others. You might opt for a filling instead. Keep in mind, however, that a filling does not prevent you from needing a crown later on. Also, if a substantial portion of your tooth needs filling, a better solution is usually the crown because fillings do not give you the same kind of protection as crowns do. Also, if the filling is extremely large, it can cause the tooth to break, making it irreparable.

A dental crown is also referred to a cap, which is a dental restoration type that fits on the remains of the tooth to restore its natural appearance and protect it from further damage.
A tooth needs a crown (or cap) for strength and support, or when the tooth is missing excessively for a filling. There are many ways to shield a tooth. Usually, a dentist covers the tooth with a material, which is either porcelain, metal (gold) or a mixture of the two.
Dental crowns offer both oral and cosmetic benefits, reinforcing the structure of the tooth and further, helping a person’s smile look natural again.
Typically, dental crowns are custom-made to merge seamlessly with the patient’s natural tooth. They are crafted carefully to match the surrounding teeth in terms of size, color, texture, and shape. It restores the integrity of the patient’s bite.
When decay occurs in a tooth and the resulting cavity has become too large, a dental crown may need to be placed. A dental crown can strengthen the tooth to alleviate pain and improve eating habits. A crown can also be used to correct the bite if damage to the tooth has caused the teeth to become misaligned. Crowns improve the appearance of damaged teeth which can appear discoloured or have obvious decay.
When a tooth has had a root canal procedure performed on it, the tooth is weakened. A dental crown can restore strength to the tooth after a root canal. The majority of teeth that have undergone a root canal procedure will need to have a dental crown placed.
When large fillings have been placed in a tooth, over time, the tooth may fracture due to stress from chewing. When fractures occur within the tooth structure, a dental crown will need to be placed to help preserve the tooth and strengthen it.
In extreme cases, grinding of the teeth can wear away the enamel. When this occurs, the teeth become soft. In order to prevent the teeth from decay, crowns may be placed over them.
Dental crowns are a popular solution and are often used to:
- Repair chips or cracks
- Fill unsightly gaps and spaces
- Correct fractured teeth
- Restore misshapen teeth
- Cover damaged teeth
- Whiten severely discolored, stained, or dull teeth
- Protect weak teeth from breaks
- Support dental bridges
When patients choose not to have a crown placed, there can be permanent damage done not only to the tooth but the surrounding areas. Decay that is left to its own devices will eat away and will eventually affect the nerve that is housed inside the root of the tooth. This can cause extreme pain and infections. When the nerve is affected, a root canal will be necessary in order to save the tooth. If the damage is too extensive, the entire tooth may need to be removed.
Decay present in one tooth can eventually spread to the surrounding teeth. When this happens, multiple teeth will need dental work or need to be removed if the damage is too severe.
When a tooth has extensive decay or damage, infections can occur. Infections can cause tissue and jaw bone damage. Infections can even spread to other parts of the face and cause serious consequences if left untreated.
Although affordability is always a factor, dental crown costs are typically less before more extreme damage has occurred.
A dental crown is typically placed in two visits. The first appointment includes preparing the tooth in question, which may include sanding and shaping the tooth so that the crown will fit properly, taking an impression of the tooth, and attaching a temporary crown so that you can continue to smile, eat, and function normally without worrying about the appearance of your smile. Our dental lab will create a customised dental crown in between appointments.
The temporary crown is removed during the second and final appointment, and the permanent porcelain dental crown is bonded to your tooth to cover any damage and complete the repair.
Beyond structural repairs, dental crown can be used as a tooth restoration procedure to replace old metal dental work and provide a natural-looking smile makeover and attractive all-white smile. Metal dental work will no longer tarnish your naturally beautiful smile.
