Tooth discolouration is another sign that you need a dental crown. Discolouration can be result of severe tooth decay. If your tooth appears grey, it could be dead and would need to be removed.

• Large fillings
If a large portion of your tooth requires a filling, going with a crown might be the better option. This is because crowns tend to give full-tooth protection, rather than just partial tooth protection like a filling.

Decayed teeth can lead to many problems, including gum disease. If you are experiencing tooth decay, your dentist may recommend using a dental crown instead of a filling to help solve the problem.
