Restoring the Tooth after Root Canal
Uncategorized
For small cavities in teeth, Dr.Nechupadam Dental, may place a tooth colored filling after a root canal. The hole drilled in the back of the tooth to find the canal also will need a filling. Usually, your tooth will need a crown. And are may be metal, porcelain fused to metal, or all ceramic on your choice
First, will have to build up a foundation to strengthen the tooth and support the crown. This buildup is called a core. To help hold the core in place, have to use a post. A post is a metal or ceramic rod.
There are two ways to put a post and core in a tooth. The post can be pre-made and used with a core material that is built up around it. Or the post and core can be custom-made in one piece to fit your tooth.
This second type is used when a significant amount of the tooth is lost. dentist prepares the tooth and takes an impression so the post and core can be made then cements the post and core to the tooth. Finally, a crown is made and cemented onto the tooth, post and core.
