Crown or filling — what's the difference? 🦷
While both restore a damaged tooth, they serve different purposes.
A filling repairs a smaller area of decay, a crack, or a fracture. A crown covers and protects the entire tooth when the damage is more extensive.
The right option depends on how much healthy tooth structure remains, your individual risk factors, and what will serve you best long-term.
