A significant portion of the remaining teeth also need to be grinded for make the use of crowns possible.

    Generally, the treatment for this depends on the severity of the problem because sometimes the tooth might need to be extracted if there’s a poor recovery, or a root canal treatment followed by the cosmetic + functional procedure such as a crown placement would be suggested but all this depends on how severe the cracking is. For many people, just a small chipping off won’t require all this, but just the build up with materials such as composites.
