Is it better to extract or place a crown on a chipped wisdom tooth (number 16)?

IIf you have a good ooeth in a good position I would crown it rather than extract it.Crowns are more difficult than more forward but can last a lifetime.

There are a number of different factors that go into the decision of crowning vs. extracting your wisdom tooth. The pertinent clinical findings that only your dentist can determine gives her the unique ability to make this call. I can, however, tell you that removing your wisdom tooth will not ruin the alignment of your teeth. I would trust your dentist’s opinion.
