Q. I had a root canal filling on my first right upper molar two years ago, which my dentist chose not to crown.It recently split, and a portion on the front of the tooth was cut away above the root which left around 75% of the tooth in tact. This was built back up with appropriate “build up” materials. However my dentist still declined to consider a crown. I was originally with denplan but my dentist chose to switch to an internal private insurance scheme. I am over 60 years of age which may have a bearing on his decision.Do you think the tooth should be crowned ?
