What Happens When You Cannot Support A Crown?

There are different obstacles that people can face after a significant oral health issue; when they are not cleared, treatment can involve the extraction of their tooth rather than its restoration. One concern is that too much structural harm has occurred, which will make it difficult to place a dental crown. The good news is that this is something that can be addressed through treatment. Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office can provide support through a Post And Core or Core Buildup. These work to add to the structure so that a dental crown remains in place, which means you can preserve your full smile.

Significant Dental Damage Can Make Placing A Crown Difficult

A severe cavity or significant physical injury is something that can leave you vulnerable to the need for a tooth extraction. Unfortunately, taking that path to treatment means undergoing the removal itself, healing, and making arrangements to undergo prosthetic dental work. By discussing the issue of advanced structural damage with an endodontist, you can learn about different services that can help you proceed with care without losing your tooth. Both a Post And Core and Core Buildup will help keep a restoration in place so that you can smile, bite, and chew without problems.

Arranging Treatment To Support A Restoration

A Post And Core or Core Buildup will add support so that you can hold a permanent restoration. A Post And Core uses a small rod surrounded by a filling for support; a Core Buildup procedure will proceed without the rod. A review with Dr. Endo can determine which is right for you. Thanks to the advanced dental imaging technology at our practice, we can make sure that a person’s trouble are closely evaluated and understood before proceeding with care.

Other Services You Can Rely On From An Endodontist

There are different actions that our office can take to help people preserve their vulnerable teeth. Many who undergo endodontic treatment will undergo a root canal. This procedure addresses problems within the pulp. Unfortunately, not everything that happens within the tooth structure can be reached in this way. To see to your full recovery, it may be necessary to do something more advanced. One example of how we can help is to perform an apicoectomy, which will see your root end removed and replaced to restore your tooth’s health.
