Broken Crown
A damaged crown leaves your tooth vulnerable
A broken or damaged dental crown requires immediate replacement. When a crown breaks, chips, or falls off, it exposes the underlying tooth to bacteria, decay, and further damage. Quick action is essential.
Why Act Now
A broken crown exposes the prepared tooth underneath, which is weaker and susceptible to decay and fracture. Prompt replacement protects your investment and the underlying tooth.
