Preparing A Broken Tooth To Hold A Crown

What kinds of problems lead to tooth loss? Gum disease, severe dental decay, and physical trauma can all lead to this problem. Even if you have work done in time to save a vulnerable tooth, you can be at risk for this if there is too much damage to the portion of your tooth above your gum line to hold the restoration that you need. Your general dentist may be unable to help with this. Fortunately, our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment facility can address this issue! Through procedures like Post And Core and Core Buildup, we can resolve problems with structural damage that have stopped you from receiving a permanent crown. We are proud to provide this and other services that can help you take on problems that make you vulnerable to tooth loss.

Damage To Your Tooth Structure Can Interfere With Your Restorative Treatment

After a restorative procedure, you will need a filling or crown to effectively protect a tooth. The presence of your restoration stops problems with infections from occurring, and it also helps to preserve your appearance and bite function. If a problem with the structure leaves you unable to support a dental crown, your general dentist may inform you that you need to undergo an extraction to deal with the problem. By bringing your trouble to an endodontist, you can discuss services capable of saving the tooth and keeping your full smile intact.

Arranging A Post And Core Or Core Buildup

Depending on the condition of your tooth, we will recommend either a Post And Core or Core Buildup. The difference is that one involves the placement of a post within the structure to help support the crown that you will receive. We will determine which approach is correct based on the current state of your tooth. Once your work is complete, you can make arrangements with your general dentist to have your new crown put in position.

Other Services We Can Offer To Save A Vulnerable Tooth

Problems with your oral health that are serious will put you at risk for losing teeth. However, when the right care is available, you can avoid issues that lead to dental extractions and replacements. Our office can provide endodontic services like root canal therapy, but we can also take further steps, including oral surgery, to save teeth that are at risk for being lost. While these services are involved, they can ultimately spare you more invasive work to actually remove and replace teeth.
