When to Consider a Dental Crown:

You should consider getting a dental crown when your dentist believes it will benefit you. Your dentist will likely recommend a dental crown if your tooth is badly decayed, broken, or cracked. Your dentist may also recommend a dental crown if you have undergone root canal treatment.

Sometimes it's not possible to save the original tooth. A large filling can sometimes be seen when smiling because it doesn't blend in with the rest of the teeth. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your tooth, this is another reason to consider getting a dental crown.
