When does a tooth need a crown?
A crown may be recommended when a tooth needs more protection than a filling can provide. Common reasons include cracks, large old fillings, heavy wear, root canal history, or damage that affects chewing comfort.

Schedule a Dental Crown ConsultationHow It Works
Crowns for damaged, cracked, or weakened teeth
A dental crown covers the visible portion of a tooth to restore strength, shape, and chewing support. Dr. Elliott may discuss a crown when a tooth is cracked, heavily restored, worn down, or structurally weak.
Patients throughout Northern Kentucky visit the Florence, KY office for crown planning that considers the tooth, gum health, bite forces, material choice, and how the restoration will blend with the smile.
Why a filling is not always enough
Fillings work well for many smaller cavities and chips. When too much tooth structure is missing or cracks are present, another filling may not protect the tooth predictably. A crown can distribute chewing forces more evenly and reduce the risk of further breakdown.
Planning GuidanceYour plan may include:
Crowns for cracked teeth
Crowns after large fillings
