“How much tooth do you need for a crown?”
I am a 25 year old male. I want to know how much tooth do you need for a crown?

You need at least 30 of the tooth structure above the gum level. If more than that is missing than we need to perform a root canal procedure and place a reinforcing post into the root to help retain the crown. As long as your root is healthy a crown can be fabricated
You need enough tooth structure to hold the crown in place! That is determined by your dentist! If there is not enough tooth structure, there are many dental procedures to lengthen the tooth. The opposing tooth bite is also important prior to having a crown done! For more info on porcelain crowns, click here:

The more original tooth above the gum line that is available equates to a better fit and longer-lasting connection for a crown that would go over the remaining tooth structure. The more the better!
It’s not only the quantity but also the amount or lack of decay or restorative material present in the tooth.
Obviously the more tooth present, the better the lifespan of the crown. You also need to look at the adjacent teeth to determine the distribution of forces on these teeth and the crown.

Most of the natural tooth
