Question about getting a tooth crowned?

**coldfire** · 09-13-2008, 05:34 PM

I have a couple teeth that need to be crowned, one is still totally intact, but the one behind it is chipped partially. Can a dentist crown the chipped tooth, or if not, what other options do I have to get it repaired?

yea it can be crowned cuz my dentist basically shaved my tooth before he stuck the crown on so it is possible if still not sure just call your dentist.

It really depends on how badly chipped the tooth is. If there is still a firm foundation on the chipped tooth, the dentist can grind the chipped edge off, and glue the crown to that foundation.
