Yes. In most cases, you'll need a dental crown or permanent filling to strengthen your tooth following root canal treatment. This is because a root canal removes the pulp of your tooth, making it more brittle. Restoring the tooth with a dental crown or filling will rebuild it and ensure you have all the function you had before your infection.
At Degenhardt Dental, we offer CEREC same-day crowns that expedite the crown process, so you're not waiting for weeks for a dental lab to finish your restoration.
Does Root Canal Treatment Hurt?
The idea that root canals are painful is a common misconception. The pain that you feel is actually from your tooth infection. Root canal treatment relieves your pain, eliminates the tooth infection that's causing it, and preserves your natural tooth structure.
Our dentists are experienced, gentle, and use the latest technology to ensure that you don't feel a thing during your root canal and that the procedure goes smoothly. Our team is here to provide support throughout your root canal in Troy and beyond into your recovery.
