Doctor Bill Ligon on dental crowns
As far as crowns are concerned, some people do them for cosmetic reasons, which it’s a great, great procedure, that along with veneers. But if you have a tooth, for instance, that’s broken down to a point that you think that you’re going to have to have the tooth extracted, a lot of times we can build that tooth back up with our adhesive materials and then put a crown on top of that. And it kind of protects it, puts it back in use for you, and you’re able to keep your tooth and not have to have it taken out and still be able to eat and function as you would with your normal natural tooth.
