While both crowns and fillings restore damaged teeth, the key difference lies in the extent of coverage and protection. Fillings are used for smaller cavities and do not cover the entire tooth, whereas crowns encapsulate the whole tooth, offering more comprehensive protection and strength. During your consultation at Royal Dental Whittier, we'll help you understand which option is best for your condition.
