Will My Broken Tooth Support A Dental Crown?

Dental injuries create sudden and often serious concerns for the people they affect. A smile that was healthy and attractive can suddenly have the kinds of cosmetic and oral health issues that require treatment as soon as possible. One concern is that an injury will lead to tooth loss, as the tooth could be loose or completely dislodged, or because the tooth has lost significant material. The good news is that even if your tooth is badly broken, our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office can help. With a post and core or core buildup procedure, we can make sure you have the support necessary to keep a durable dental crown in place. We can also take on any internal issues that need to be addressed to preserve your oral health.

A Tooth Injury Can Pose Serious Oral Health Risks

Dental injuries are not something to take lightly. If you experience trauma and feel lingering discomfort afterward, or if you have any chipping, cracking, or other damage, you should make treatment a priority. A general dental office can offer some help, but physical trauma can require more specialized endodontic services if you hope to save your tooth and preserve your full smile. Fortunately, these services are available. In addition to performing treatments like root canal therapy that address internal harm, we can perform treatment that adds to your damaged tooth structure so that you can keep a dental crown in place and avoid the need for an extraction and prosthodontic work.

We Offer Treatment To Keep Dental Crowns In Place

Through post and core and core buildup treatments, we help patients who lack healthy tooth structure to hold a crown in place. Both services use fillings to add to lost material, with the post and core procedure depending on a metal rod safely inserted in the root canal to provide further support. With our advanced imaging technology, we can assess the condition of your remaining structure to provide the kind of precise care that leads to lasting benefits. Once your work is done, your general dentist can provide a dental crown that completes your treatment and lets you fully move on from your injury.

Endodontic Care To Restore A Broken Tooth’s Health

In addition to addressing structural harm after an injury, we can provide services that address internal harm and infection. Our office offers more than just traditional root canal therapy to make sure your tooth is fully restored. We can also provide retreatment if a tooth has had problems in the past, and we can even perform oral surgery when necessary to treat problems that affect the roots of teeth.
