Dental Crowns Vs Dental Fillings (What's the Difference?)

What determines whether you need a crown or filling? Dental fillings are used to repair small to medium-sized cavities by filling them with a material such as amalgam or composite resin. Dental crowns, on the other hand, are used to cover and protect extensively damaged teeth by encasing them with a durable cap, often made of porcelain or metal. There’s a big price difference when it comes to insurance coverage... so let's talk about WHY!

A dentist around here I went to for a while refused to fill cavities unless they very bad, so Now i have to get 11 fillings at another dentist cause he refused. He probably wanted more money for crowns instead of cheap effective fillings.

A few years ago, a filling fell out in my tooth. While waiting for a week to see the dentist, I forgot and bit chocolate with this tooth twice. The tooth broke very easily and badly, so much so that I should have put on a prosthetic crown, but the dentist didn't tell me about it and I didn't even know that such a thing existed) he just put a large filling (I would say by eye about 70% of the tooth). it was fulfillment). After about 5-6 years, while eating a hard-to-bite bread roll, I heard a crunch, at first I thought it was some grain from the roll, because I couldn't feel anything in my tooth, then a second crunch and I realized that it might be the same as a few years ago... It turned out that I broke the side wall of this tooth subgingially. Unfortunately, the dentist said it couldn't be restored and I would have to remove it. I'm devastated. Although I haven't removed it yet, because I hope that maybe another dentist will be able to do something more, although I doubt it, and lately it's been hurting more and more...

Would be interesting to discuss differences between crown types like full crown, inlay, onlay or partial crowns. Also the life of a tooth repair like little filling followed by bigger filling followed by a crown followed by a root canal followed by an extraction and an implant followed by a second implant and how long the repairs typically usually last.

My dr wants to put in a lot of crowns even for my front teeth. That’s a lot of money of course but when I brought up I wanted to do fillings for all of them as much fillings as he can. He was hesitant of my choice and was saying they don’t last long and the color will be a bit off but at this point I don’t care I have been following everything he says until now. I want to keep a lot of my own teeth.

very informative and not using hard technical terms to look educated while it's simple

[kclark]

due to a recent root canal, just received a crown, its uncomfortable, slippery and I hope it gets dull as it gets older because I do not like it, I regret it 👎tooth🦷

[TerenceFrank-qp]

just curious dose the filling material of the tooth filling bonds with the tooth itself over time?

[jacobvelazquez]

Finally someone speaking about it. The dentist can be confusing for me so this content is amazing thank you 🔥🔥🔥🀄️💪🏼

[Simplyiss]

How do gumline cavities get treated? Whats the best/worse case scenario? A video on this would be nice

[MrPontiac]

Thanks for the info. I had a chipped front tooth when I was younger that was I guess bonded and fixed. I was recently told that there are now stress cracks forming from around that bonded area and eventually I'll need a crown for it.

[PrincePaulIowa]

This clarify my root canal followed by a crown by upper center 🦷. Just for fillings but the my don’t feel like normal teeth. Not a soft smooth surface. Why?

[amnamahmood]
