We Can Do Work To Ensure A Restored Tooth Can Hold A Crown

The damage done to a tooth by decay or physical injury will be permanent. Fortunately, permanent restorations like dental fillings and dental crowns can be used to protect teeth and keep them safe. This ensures that a person can still bite and chew without difficulty, and also keeps them safe from further infection or physical damage. So what will happen if a tooth suffers so much damage that it cannot hold a filling or crown in place? For situations like this, our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment facility can help! Through Post and Core procedures and Core Buildup work, it is possible to restore a tooth so that it can safely and permanently support a restoration.

An Advanced Cavity Or Injury Can Do Significant Harm To A Tooth

Serious dental trauma can occur when a tooth experiences advanced decay, or when a physical injury badly hurts your tooth structure. With access to treatment from an endodontic practice, patients who are at risk for losing teeth can learn about different procedures to help them. In some cases, this can mean oral surgery to address issues with hard-to-reach portions of teeth. In other circumstances, the work needed to save a tooth will involve rebuilding it to a degree where your dentist can put a custom crown on it and trust it to stay in position.

What We Can Do To Make Sure Your Tooth Can Hold A Crown

If too little of your natural tooth remains, it will be difficult to put a crown in place and count on it to stay stable. In response to this problem, the tooth can be rebuilt to provide that support. A Post And Core procedure uses a metal rod, placed in a tooth’s root canal, to provide the base of support for the restoration your tooth needs. In a Core Buildup treatment, work to restore the tooth structure occurs without the placement of a post. The end result for treatment will be enough stability to make the full restoration of the tooth possible!

Other Services We Offer That Can Save A Vulnerable Tooth

Thanks to the advanced imaging technology we have to evaluate dental problems, we can determine what issues are threatening a tooth to see what can be done about them. In addition to root canal therapy, we can perform apicoectomies and other forms of oral surgery to tend to the health of teeth. In cases where patients experience problems after past dental work, we can move forward with retreatment to address new issues, or respond to issues that were not properly resolved.
