Core Buildup and Dental Crown

When not enough tooth structure remains in a tooth after trauma, decay, or a root canal procedure, a core buildup and crown will be used to restore the tooth to full form and function. A crown buildup is composed of a bonded composite and sometimes on a small post to strengthen the tooth. If a crown is placed on an unstable tooth foundation you will have a higher risk of having that crown fail. When the tooth has lost significant structure, a buildup is necessary to support the new crown properly and bring the tooth back to full function.
