Post & Core

What Is Post & Core?

A Post & Core is a dental procedure done after a root canal when a tooth has lost a lot of its structure. It helps rebuild and support the tooth so a crown can be securely placed on top.

  • The “post” goes inside the cleaned root canal for support
  • The “core” rebuilds the shape of the missing tooth structure

Frequently Ask Questions

Is Post & Core always necessary after a root canal?

 Not always. It’s only done when a tooth lacks enough structure to support a crown on its own.

Does it hurt?

 No, it’s a painless procedure usually done under local anesthesia.

How long does it take?

 It’s a quick procedure and usually completed in a single visit before crown placement.

Can I eat normally after the treatment?

 Yes, once your crown is placed, you can eat as you would with a natural tooth.
