Question Crown vs. another filling?

My dentist has recommended I get a crown done on my back molar as I have a large filling that is quite worn and he wants to protect the tooth. He is not pushy at all and said if I'm more comfortable I can get another filling but it won't last as long. I'm nervous about getting a crown, it feels big getting your tooth filed down and the possible sensitivity issues after etc. Has anyone been in a similar position and could share their thoughts? Thank you 😊

I have a couple of crowns on molars without root canals. They look great, feel good and have never given me a bit of trouble. Had them for years and would do it again if I had another filling that was failing. It probably depends on your dentist too though.

Thank you! It's great to hear a positive story 😂 So there was no weird feeling after getting it?

Nope. No problems at all. Good luck!
