After a root canal treatment, your tooth needs to be restored to ensure it remains strong and functional. At Scissortail Endodontic Specialists, we provide high-quality endodontic restorations, including fillings and crowns, to ensure your tooth is fully protected and restored. Endodontic restorations are essential for sealing and strengthening your tooth after a root canal. Since the pulp is removed, the tooth becomes more fragile, and a restoration such as a filling or crown helps protect it from future damage and decay.
Fillings: Used to seal the tooth after a root canal, especially for teeth that don't endure heavy chewing pressure. Crowns: Recommended for teeth that require extra strength, such as molars, which handle significant chewing force. Crowns completely cover the tooth to provide protection.
Once the root canal is completed, we will take an impression of your tooth and create a custom restoration. Fillings are placed to seal the tooth, while crowns are crafted to fit precisely and restore the tooth's natural shape and function.
We offer customized restorations using advanced materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Dr. Siegler ensures that every restoration fits comfortably and looks great, enhancing both the function and appearance of your smile.
A filling can usually be placed in one visit, while crowns may require two visits – one for the impression and another for the final placement.
With proper care, fillings and crowns can last for many years, though crowns may need to be replaced eventually due to wear or damage.
No special care is required. Simply maintain good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing, and visit your dentist for routine checkups.
After a filling, you may be able to eat right away, though it's recommended to wait for the numbness to wear off. After a crown, you may need to wait until it’s fully cemented, usually after a few days.
