Can a dentist rebuild a severely decayed tooth and place a crown without the need for a root canal? Thank you for your time and assistance in helping patients like me on here. I truly appreciate it!
Depending on the extent of damage to a tooth, the dentist determines the best course of restoration. Root canal treatment is not always necessary before placing a crown. However, if a tooth requires a post buildup to provide enough structure for the crown, then a root canal will be required. It is generally recommended to have a root canal prior to placing a crown, as a badly damaged tooth that requires a crown is likely to become symptomatic and necessitate a root canal in the future. In such cases, a perfectly good crown would need to be ruined to gain access for the root canal treatment.
A thorough evaluation should be conducted to determine the necessity of a root canal. Tests such as sensitivity to cold and percussion can help assess the tooth's health. In some cases, if the tooth remains vital and there is sufficient tooth structure, it can be repaired with a buildup and crown. However, if a post is required, a root canal must be performed before placing the post. With numerous alternatives available today, it is worth exploring all the options. Best of luck! Thank you for your kind words of appreciation.
A badly decayed tooth may not require a root canal if the decay hasn't reached the nerve. The dentist will prepare the tooth and remove all the decay, potentially waiting during the temporary phase to assess any symptoms before placing the final crown.
I acknowledge your concerns, but I would advise giving it some time. It typically takes around 3-6 months for the skin to relax and for the final appearance to settle in. Based on the current stage, I would say they look quite good. Additionally, when considering the position of your nipples in relation to the breast mound, they don't appear to be too far apart. Please be patient, as I believe everything will turn out fine.
