A crown is a custom-made cap that restores a damaged tooth to full strength and natural shape, matched in shade so precisely that even you will forget which tooth it is. It is how a cracked, worn or root-canaled tooth gets its life back.
Fillings repair small and medium damage, but when too little healthy tooth remains, a filling has nothing solid to hold onto. A crown solves this by covering the entire tooth above the gumline, spreading chewing forces across the whole surface instead of concentrating them on a weak point.
The classic cases: a cracked or fractured tooth, a large old filling breaking down, a tooth worn flat by grinding, or a back tooth after root canal therapy. Cosmetic cases count too. A crown can rescue the shape and shade of a front tooth that has always bothered you.
| Compared on | Crown | Filling |
|---|---|---|
| Covers | The whole tooth | The cavity only |
| Best for | Cracked, worn or root-canaled teeth | Small to medium cavities |
| Visits | Two | One |
| Typical lifespan | 10 to 15 years or more | Shorter on a large cavity |
