If you have root resorption, external or internal, will crowning over teeth do any good? Will the crowns not fail later?

March 14, 2014

My husband teeth are just crumbling away. Getting smaller & smaller. He see's the dentist soon. Our dentist is all about crowns. I want to know if he does have resorption of either kind, is crowning over his teeth going to do any good. Crowning over his teeth in my opinion isn't taking care of the resorption. I don't know. Just seeking advice from another doctor. I would hate to crown all these teeth to find out later they all have to be removed (money wasted) & more work needs to be done.
