If you • grind your teeth, • have breaks or cracks in your teeth, • have large fillings, • have tooth decay, or suffer other damage or decay to an individual tooth, you may be a candidate for a teeth crown. If you have a missing tooth or teeth, you may be a candidate for a tooth bridge. Dr. Elenbaas will need to consult with you about your best treatment options, because sometimes these problems may be solved with other treatments like porcelain fillings or implant dentistry.
Crowns may be a good option for you if you have teeth that are badly damaged or worn, require or desire major changes in size, shape, or alignment of teeth, and are committed to practicing good oral hygiene habits.
