“Can you crown a tooth broken at the gum line?”

Check with your dentist. Yes, in some cases a crown can be placed, but in most cases a root canal and a post and core along with crown lengthening of the tooth would be necessary to ensure the tooth can support the crown long term. adding the expenses up and depending on the situation removal of the root an implant sometimes is the better option

In most cases, "Yes". However, you may have to do root canal treatment first and build up socalled "core" before fabricate a crown.

Yes. If the root is long enough and healthy, it can be done.

It is possible. To crown a tooth broken at the gum line, root canal therapy must be performed, then a post can be placed into the root and sticking up above the gum line, around which a core can be built, and a crown fitted on top of the core. It is an option, but often the long-term prognosis is “Questionable” or “Unfavorable.”

The superior long-term option is to remove the remaining root of the tooth, place an implant (artificial root) with bone graft material, and once that heals (fuses to the bone in 4-6 months), place an abutment and crown. Longer treatment phase, but the long-term prognosis is usually “Favorable” nearing ideal with implants (artificial teeth).

Hi,

If the tooth is completely broken to the gum line, you cannot crown that tooth.

Hope that helps.

Depends of the amount of tooth structure remaining. Sometimes with a crown lengthening procedure it could be possible
