FAQs
Restorative Dentistry — your questions
Frequently asked questions
How long does a crown last?
The lifespan of a crown depends on its position, your bite and how well it is cared for. Your dentist will discuss realistic expectations for your case.
What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
A filling repairs a portion of a tooth, while a crown covers and protects a tooth that is more extensively damaged or weakened.
Can a badly damaged tooth be saved?
In many cases yes, though it depends on the amount of healthy structure remaining. An assessment will establish what is possible before any decision is made.
