Too Much Filling Too Little Tooth

Many teeth have been restored with fillings to repair damage from tooth decay.

However, there comes a point when sufficient extensive damage from decay had removed too much structure to support the filling.  These teeth must be restored by a technique that will allow the tooth to function and meet esthetic demands.  This procedure is known as a crown (cap).

With a crown, your tooth is strengthened because it is covered with a casting of porcelain that will surround and splint your tooth.
