Common Patient Concerns
I'm having problems with previous dental work. What could be wrong?
Dental restorations typically fail due to one or more of the following:
- Weak or excessively thin restorations
- A strong bite or nighttime clenching/grinding
- An overly large filling in a tooth that really needs a crown (i.e., if more than 1/2 of the tooth is filling, the tooth needs a crown).
- Harmful habits (i.e. chewing ice, half popped popcorn, etc.)
