When a filling may be suitable
A filling may be appropriate when decay or damage is contained and enough healthy tooth remains to support a conservative repair.
When a crown may be recommended
A crown may provide stronger protection when a tooth has extensive decay, a large existing filling, cracks, or increased biting pressure.
How the recommendation is made
We consider the amount of healthy tooth remaining, the location of the tooth, your bite, symptoms, previous restorations, appearance, and the risk of future fracture.
