A severely damaged or decayed tooth doesn’t always mean extraction. Sometimes, it just needs the right foundation. That’s where Post and Core Buildup comes in, a key step in restoring badly broken teeth, especially after a root canal treatment.
When too much of the natural tooth structure is lost due to decay or fracture, a regular filling won’t hold a crown securely. Post and core buildup is a restorative procedure that rebuilds the internal support of the tooth, allowing it to retain a crown and function like a healthy tooth again.
You may need a post and core build up if:
A small biocompatible post (usually fiber or metal) is placed inside the cleaned root canal to provide a strong anchor.
A special dental material is used to recreate the lost structure of the tooth around the post, shaping it to hold a crown securely.
Once the buildup is complete and stable, a custom-made crown is placed for full restoration of function and aesthetics.
Without proper reinforcement, weakened teeth are prone to fractures and repeated failures. A post and core buildup:
Enhances strength and stability of treated teeth
Helps retain crowns securely
Prevents future breakage or tooth loss
Restores natural shape and function
With proper care, veneers can last over a decade making them a long-term investment in your confidence.

No. It is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients experience little to no discomfort.
Typically, it can be completed in a single visit, unless complications require additional appointments.
If the tooth root is healthy and salvageable, post and core buildup is a more natural, conservative option than extraction and replacement.
With proper care and a well-fitted crown, the restoration can last for many years.
Don’t give up on a damaged tooth too soon. With post and core build up at Summirow Dental Hospital, you can preserve your natural smile and avoid more invasive treatments.
