Answers:
Yes, a tooth can be built up to support a crown.. There are also other procedures that are done to give the dentist more solid tooth to work with..The dentist needs 2mm of good tooth to support a crown..Health Question & Answer
they would probably put a post core into one of your root canals and then build the tooth with some tooth-coloured filling material.. This could then be light-cured to set it and then prepared to have a crown placed on top of it.. This is probably the easiest way because if they just place the filling material without the post to support it there is a greater chance of the filling material weakining over time through biting forces and eventually fracturing.. But as i don't know what ur tooth looks like i cant give a definite answer to what they would doHealth Question & Answer
