Post and Core

Post and Core Treatment in Paldi, Ahmedabad

When a tooth lacks sufficient structure to support a conventional crown, a post and core restoration may be necessary. At Dr Maitry M Shah Dental Clinic, we specialize in providing post and core treatments to restore the strength and function of damaged teeth, preparing them for the placement of a final crown.

Understanding Post and Core Restorations

A post and core restoration involves two main components:

  • Post: A post is a thin, metal or tooth-colored rod that is cemented into the root canal of a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy. The post provides additional support and retention for the core restoration and final crown.
  • Core Restoration: The core restoration is a buildup material that fills the space inside the tooth above the post and provides a foundation for the final crown. It helps to reinforce the tooth structure and create a stable base for the crown to be placed.

When is Post and Core Treatment Needed?

Post and core treatment is typically recommended in cases where:

  • A tooth has undergone root canal therapy and lacks sufficient remaining tooth structure to support a traditional crown.
  • There is significant damage or decay affecting the tooth structure, making it prone to fracture or collapse.
  • The tooth needs additional support to ensure the long-term success of the final crown restoration.

Benefits of Post and Core Treatment:

  • Enhanced Support: Post and core restorations provide additional support and stability to weakened or compromised teeth, ensuring the long-term success of the final crown.
  • Improved Functionality: By reinforcing the tooth structure, post and core treatments restore the ability to chew and bite comfortably.
  • Long-lasting Results: With proper care and maintenance, post and core restorations can provide durable and reliable support for many years.

Post and Core Treatment – Patient FAQs

Post and Core treatment is a dental procedure used to restore a tooth that has lost a significant amount of its structure, usually after root canal therapy. It involves placing a post inside the tooth root and building a core to support a dental crown.
It is recommended when a tooth does not have enough natural structure left to hold a crown securely, often due to extensive decay, fracture, or damage after root canal treatment.
The treatment is usually done under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort afterward is normal and can be managed with prescribed pain relievers.
In most cases, the procedure can be completed in a single visit, but sometimes it may require two appointments depending on the case.
Posts can be made from materials such as metal, fiber-reinforced composite, or ceramic. The choice depends on the tooth’s location, strength needed, and your dentist’s recommendation.
With proper care and oral hygiene, a Post and Core restoration can last many years. Regular dental checkups help maintain its longevity.
Possible risks include post loosening, tooth fracture, or infection, but these are rare when performed by an experienced dentist.
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly. Avoid chewing hard objects to protect your restored tooth.
