Preparing Your Tooth To Hold A Crown

In times when teeth need advanced care, the support of an endodontist can be required to prevent the need for extraction and replacement. Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment facility can the kinds of issues that make a person vulnerable to tooth loss. Sometimes, that work calls for the restoration of your tooth structure so that permanent protection can be put in place. Through Post And Core and Core Buildup services, we can make sure you are able to support a dental crown and enjoy the lasting protection that you require.

You May Need Help Supporting Your Dental Crown

What makes you vulnerable to the potential loss of a tooth? A severe cavity or injury can leave you in jeopardy of this; while the concern is often with internal problems that require special treatment, sometimes a patient simply needs help keeping a crown secure. When too much harm to your tooth occurs, holding a restoration can prove difficult. Fortunately, there are treatments that add support needed to permanently hold one in place. This means we can keep your natural tooth and its roots in place, which can mean more conservative care as well as long-term benefits for your oral health.

How Post And Core And Core Buildup Services Help Preserve Teeth

The Post And Core and Core Buildup services add to the structure of your tooth when a considerable portion is lost. When too little of your healthy structure remains, there can be too little to keep a crown stable, making it less capable of providing adequate protection. Post And Core treatments use a small post surrounded by a filling material to rebuild the tooth structure, while the Core Buildup service provides similar care without the use of the post. After these services are complete, you can return to your general dentist to receive your crown. With both options, we can ensure that your restoration will remain stable so that it contributes to your bite and smile.

What Else Can Your Endodontist Do To Save A Vulnerable Tooth?

There are different services that we can perform, including oral surgery, to make sure a serious infection or injury is properly treated. Beyond root canal therapy, we can provide more involved surgical treatments, such as an apicoectomy, to reach and treat the site of an infection or injury.
