Zirconia-based crowns can be an option when a tooth has lost structure or has changed in shape or colour.
Material and method are not chosen by appearance alone. Your gum health, bite and the tooth structure you have left count too.
Why is an examination necessary?
The same complaint can have different causes in different people. What to do is decided after an oral examination, imaging if needed, and a look at your medical history.
