What Issues Can Crowns Correct?
In this video, Dr. Rameek McNair explains the importance of crowns for teeth with extensive decay, highlighting how they protect and preserve tooth integrity under daily stress.
When a tooth has more decay than healthy structure remaining, it often cannot withstand the normal forces of biting. In such cases, placing a crown is essential. The crown serves to fully encapsulate the compromised tooth, providing a protective layer that prevents further damage. This reinforcement is crucial to preserve the tooth’s integrity and functionality, ensuring it is safeguarded against breaking under daily stress and use.
