Crowns are used in dentistry for various reasons. They are dental restorations made typically using porcelain that cover the entire tooth, providing protection and support. Here’s why crowns may be recommended:

• Tooth Protection: If a tooth is severely worn down, weakened, or at risk of fracturing, a crown can provide strength and stability. It acts as a protective shield, preventing further damage to the tooth.
• After Root Canal Treatment: Following a root canal procedure, where the inner part of the tooth (pulp) is removed, a crown is often placed to protect the treated tooth and restore its function. This helps to prevent any potential fractures or reinfection.
