Over time our teeth can begin to weaken and become more susceptible to problems such as decay, cracks, discoloration, etc. We may recommend a crown if we notice that a tooth is decayed or seems weakened/cracked. In cases like this a filling or bonding will not be sufficient. A properly designed and constructed crown will restore strength to the tooth, and hopefully prevent what our experience shows will happen if left untreated.
