Question: How do you put a crown over a tooth thats barely there!?
I mean the walls of one of my teeth are super low, but they said they could put a crown on it!. but it would be very hard, possible though!. I was wondering how they could do this!? do they build up the walls or what!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, a tooth can be built up to support a crown!. There are also other procedures that are done to give the dentist more solid tooth to work with!.The dentist needs 2mm of good tooth to support a crown!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

they would probably put a post core into one of your root canals and then build the tooth with some tooth-coloured filling material!. This could then be light-cured to set it and then prepared to have a crown placed on top of it!. This is probably the easiest way because if they just place the filling material without the post to support it there is a greater chance of the filling material weakining over time through biting forces and eventually fracturing!. But as i don't know what ur tooth looks like i cant give a definite answer to what they would doWww@Answer-Health@Com

They can build up the wall too!.
Or if the crown is too smalll then they can do crown lengthening!.
