Smile transformation with dental crowns in Chennai, OMR, Thoraipakkam, Rootzdentalcare. Do I Need a Crown? A dental crown is like a cap that covers a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function. But when do you really need one? You might need a crown if: 1. Your tooth is badly decayed -- When a cavity is too large for a regular filling, a crown helps protect what’s left of the tooth. 2. You’ve had a root canal -- After root canal treatment, the tooth becomes more fragile. A crown helps keep it strong and safe. 3. Your tooth is cracked or broken -- Crowns hold cracked teeth together and prevent further damage. 4. You have a worn-down tooth -- Teeth can wear down from grinding or acid erosion. A crown restores the tooth to its original height. 5. You want to improve the appearance of a tooth -- Crowns can also be used for cosmetic reasons—to improve the shape, color, or alignment of a tooth. What is the process like? At Rootzdentalcare, Thoraipakkam. Getting a crown usually takes two visits: one for preparing the tooth and taking impressions or digital scans, and another to place the final crown. With modern dentistry, crowns can be made from natural-looking materials like ceramic or zirconia. If you're unsure whether you need a crown, a quick dental checkup with Rootzdentalcare, Thoraipakkam can help you decide. Early treatment saves teeth!
