Can you put a crown on a broken wisdom tooth?

Question

Paul D. Kantor, DDS · Answer

It is certainly possible to put a crown on a wisdom tooth. If there is enough solid tooth structure and the tooth is in an appropriate position, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Amber Garcia, DDS · Answer

You can put a crown on a wisdom tooth provided there is enough tooth to support a crown and enough space in your mouth for the dentist to place a crown. Usually, I recommend wisdom teeth be removed rather than restored. There is the rare instance where the wisdom tooth is easily accessible and easy to fix, in which case I will restore it if the patient wants.

Patric Cohen, DDS, FAGD · Answer

Yes it is possible. I would see a dentist to see if there is enough tooth, and if there is a tooth opposing it. You may not want to save the tooth.

Hi:Depending on the amount of tooth structure remaining, it is possible to put a crown on a wisdom tooth.  It’s best to go to a dentist and get an xray of the tooth.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Andy Shieh, DMD · Answer

If your wisdom tooth is in a location where your dentist feels it is usable and it needed a crown, then yes, why not? After all, wisdom tooth is still a tooth. Crowns are made for teeth. If your wisdom tooth can be used to chew and it’s broken, a crown can be indicated.
