A broken crown or large filling does not always need full replacement. A dentist checks tooth structure, decay, cracks, and bite before choosing repair, onlay, or crown.
A filling can repair smaller damage. A crown may be needed when too little healthy tooth remains, a large filling fails, or a tooth weakens after root canal treatment.
A broken tooth is not always lost, and it does not always need the same repair. Learn how dentists decide between bonding or a filling, an onlay, a crown, root canal treatment, or extraction based on the crack, the amount of healthy tooth left, and whether the tooth is truly restorable.
A cracked filling does not always mean the whole filling has to come out. Learn the signs that matter, how dentists decide between monitoring, repair, or replacement, and what to do before your appointment.
