Post & Core Restorations

Rebuilding Strength from Within the Tooth

When a tooth has suffered extensive decay, fracture, or structural loss, a standard filling may not provide sufficient support. In such cases, post and core restorations help rebuild the tooth from within, restoring its strength, stability, and functionality.

At Ansh Dental Studio, post and core restorations are commonly recommended following root canal treatment when a significant portion of the natural tooth structure has been lost. The procedure creates a durable internal foundation that supports a crown and helps extend the life of the treated tooth.

A post is carefully placed inside the cleaned root canal space, while the core material rebuilds the missing portion of the tooth above the gum line. Together, they restore structural integrity and prepare the tooth for a permanent crown.

Our advanced restorative techniques ensure that weakened teeth can continue functioning effectively while maintaining aesthetics and long-term durability.

What Is a Post & Core Restoration?

A post and core restoration is a procedure used to rebuild a severely damaged or root canal-treated tooth by placing a supporting post within the root and rebuilding the tooth structure with a strong core material.

How Does the Treatment Work?

After root canal therapy is completed, a dental post is securely placed inside the root canal. A core buildup material is then shaped around the post to recreate the missing tooth structure. Once the foundation is complete, a dental crown is placed to restore full strength, function, and appearance.

When Is a Post & Core Needed?

This treatment is often recommended when:

  • A large portion of the tooth is missing
  • The tooth has undergone root canal treatment
  • Severe decay has weakened the tooth
  • The tooth has suffered significant fracture or damage
  • Additional support is needed before crown placement

Why Choose Post & Core Restorations?

Post and core restorations help preserve natural teeth that might otherwise require extraction, allowing patients to maintain proper chewing function and oral health.
