    I HAVE QUITE A FEW FILLINGS AND ROOT CANALS IN MY FRONT TEETH AND THE DENTIST SUGGESTED CROWNS, BUT I THOUGHT CROWNS WERE JUST FOR COSMETIC, COULD THEY BENEFIT MY TEETH IN OTHER WAYS?

    I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE NICE TEETH BUT IT'S ALOT OF MONEY AND WON'T I HAVE TO GET THEM REPLACED EVERY FEW YEARS?

    ARE CROWNS REALLY WORTH IT OR SHOULD I JUST CONTINUE TO KEEP GETTING WHITE FILLINGS?

    Op if you keep getting fillings your basically going to be left with more filling than your own teeth.
    Crowns are aesthethic but they have their functional uses aswell.
    Crowns have a long enough life cycle, but probably best to speak with your dentist regarding your concerns.
