Dental work that addresses tooth decay or physical trauma can end with the placement of a permanent restoration in many circumstances. However, there are issues that sometimes puts a patient at risk of losing a tooth. While a general practice may recommend extraction in these situations, your El Paso, TX endodontist can recommend alternative forms of care that can prevent this. One way we can help is by addressing structural damage to a tooth that makes it difficult to hold a crown. Through a Post And Core or Core Buildup treatment, we can make sure that your restoration is capable of remaining secure and providing lasting bite support.
Damage To Your Tooth Structure Can Affect Your Treatment Options
There are different oral health issues that can make a trip to see an endodontist necessary. While many of our patients need help with problems within their tooth structure, external damage is also something we can address. When too little of your structure remains to hold a crown in place, your general dentist may feel an extraction, followed by the placement of a dental prosthetic. By meeting with Dr. Endo and discussing treatment to restore the structure, you can avoid this situation and keep your complete smile intact!
Taking Care To Restore Your Tooth Structure
Both a Post And Core and Core Buildup procedure are capable of making the support of a permanent dental crown possible. With a Post And Core, the placement of a small post occurs along with the application of a composite material to add to your tooth. Through the appropriate procedure, we can make sure that your restoration will stay secure enough to support your bite function.
