So, why is it that in some cases a dental crown may be a better option than a traditional filling?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Added strength:<\/strong> Cosmetic Crowns cup over and encase your entire tooth, making them much more durable and protective than fillings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>True to the natural shape of your teeth:<\/strong> Crowns are fabricated in a dental laboratory where skilled artisans\/technicians can visualize and examine all aspects of your bite, creating a precise fit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Some fillings can actually weaken a tooth:<\/strong> Dental fillings, especially large ones, can have a weakening effect on a tooth because they rely on a tooth\u2019s remaining structure to hold and support them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crowns provide more protection for damaged teeth: <\/strong>Fillings are typically recommended for minor cavities and decay. If you are victim to cracks and chips in your teeth, dental crowns may be a much more reliable and realistic solution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope that helps you better understand the differences between crowns and fillings.
