Post and Core Treatment at All Care Dental Centre
A “post and core” is a dental treatment we use to help save and restore a tooth that has had a root canal. This treatment helps make the tooth strong and ready for a crown. Here’s a simple guide to understand what it is and how it works.
What is a Post and Core?
Post: A small rod placed into the root of your tooth. It helps support the tooth.
Core: A buildup around the post to create a strong base for a crown.
Why Do You Need a Post and Core Dental Treatment?
After a root canal, your tooth might be weak. The post and core build up helps strengthen the tooth and prevent further damage and hold a crown, which looks and works like a real tooth.
The Steps of a Post and Core Procedure
Root Canal: Before the post and core, you’ll need a root canal to remove any infection and damage inside your tooth.
Post Placement: The dentist will place a small post into the cleaned root canal. This post helps support the tooth.
Core Build-Up: The dentist will build up the core around the post using a special material. This core acts as a base for the crown.
Crown Placement: After the post and core are in place, the dentist will put a crown on top. The crown protects your tooth and helps you chew properly.
Benefits of a Post and Core Dental Treatment
