Why would I need a crown?
Fillings are great for filling small holes in teeth caused by decay, but if you've lost a significant portion of your tooth due to decay or breakage then a crown is the answer. Crowns are like a helmet that goes over the entire tooth and they look and feel just like a natural tooth.
Crowns may also be necessary if you've cracked a tooth which may cause pain occasionally when you bite on hard things. If you've had a root canal on a back tooth you should also consider a crown due to the increased risk of fracture after the tooth has been hollowed out for a root canal.

What insurance do you take?
We are in-network for most plans. Give us a call, send a text, or email and we will look into your specific insurance plan.
Do I need a root canal first to get a crown?
No. Crowns provide strength, and if your tooth is broken down, but the pulp or nerve is still healthy, a crown may be all you will need. However, if you've had a root canal on a back tooth, then you need to protect it with a crown. If you need a root canal, we can refer you to an independent endodontic specialist.
