Preparing A Damaged Tooth To Hold A Crown

Why do dental problems sometimes lead to the extraction and replacement of teeth? General dental care can protect your full smile by addressing potentially serious issues with dental damage and decay, including problems that call for root canal therapy. However, there are issues that leave teeth in such poor condition that it can seem as though extraction is the only option. Before you give up on your complete smile, you can talk to your El Paso, TX endodontist to learn about more involved procedures that can help you. If your dentist is concerned about a dental crown’s stability, we can perform a Post And Core or Core Buildup to add to your tooth structure and offer more support.

A Badly Hurt Tooth May Be Unable To Support A Crown

A serious physical injury can cause big problems for your tooth. You can face an infection risk, which can lead to worsening pain and health complications. However, this is not the only issue that can put you in jeopardy. Too much physical damage can make it hard to support a dental crown. If too little structure remains, the restoration will not remain secure, leading to more difficulties. In addition to addressing problems within a tooth and performing oral surgery to address trouble with your roots, we can provide a Post And Core or Core Buildup to physically restore the structure above your gum line so that you can safely hold a crown.

Restoring Tooth Structure To Hold A Restoration

Both a Post And Core and Core Buildup can be important procedures when it comes to fully restoring your smile. A Post And Core uses a metal post as well as a supportive filling material to rebuild your tooth, while the Core Buildup provides a resin substance to add to the crown (the portion of your tooth above your gum line). When this work is complete, you can see your dentist to finish restorative treatment and regain your full, confident, and healthy smile.

Other Services Your Endodontist Can Provide To Prevent Tooth Loss

Endodontic services can save teeth that are at risk for being lost, even if those teeth need more support than you can expect to receive at a general dental practice. Before performing treatment, we can use our advanced dental imaging technology to evaluate you and see what should take place to restore your smile. Treatments range from root canal therapy to oral surgery that can expose and treat problems with your roots.
