There are several issues that can complicate plans to restore an unhealthy tooth. Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office is prepared to confront different concerns so that you can enjoy successful treatment that keeps your smile fully intact! One problem people face is that, simply put, they have lost too much of their tooth to hold a dental crown in place. A badly damaged or infected structure that cannot hold a crown is vulnerable to being lost. Through Post And Core and Core Buildup procedures, we can provide more support, which means you can avoid a tooth extraction!
Structural Damage To Your Tooth Can Put It At Serious Risk
A physical injury or severe cavity can destroy a significant portion of your tooth above the gum line. These problems often call for root canal therapy before the placement of a dental crown to keep the tooth safe. However, there are times when more involved work is needed. Your endodontist is able to address trouble that might be difficult for your general dentist to deal with. One example is when an infection or injury is out of reach for a typical root canal – while your regular dentist may be unable to help, your endodontist can provide oral surgery to address the issue. Another situation where our practice can help is one where the tooth simply lacks structure to hold a restoration. The appropriate treatment can make sure that a crown has the support it needs to stay in place and contribute to your bite function.
Scheduling A Post And Core Or Core Buildup
The Post And Core procedure rebuilds tooth structure with the help of a metal rod that is inserted into the root canal of a vulnerable tooth. After its insertion, a filling material will be applied to give more support to your tooth. The Core Buildup procedure is recommended when there is not a need to insert a post. After resin material is applied to build up the tooth structure above your gum line, you can return to your dentist to have a custom dental crown applied.
