this is a crown
If you have a root canal done, most likely you'll need a crown. But if it was done through a bridge, there is already a crown on that tooth. A bride is just three or more crowns fused into one piece to replace a missing tooth. It is possible that doing a root canal through the brige will damage the bridge and the whole until may need to be replaced if that happens. But that's not common.
In general, you should have this done as soon as possible, especially if it's a posterior (back) tooth like a molar or premolar. A tooth that has had root canal treatment becomes more subject to fracturing.
You can just let it rot out. Or if it is restorable, get a post and a crown.
Yes.
that is a root canal of a molar tooth. Meaning the dentist is removing the nerve and pulp of the tooth.
Is replacing bonded tooth with a crown necessary to prevent root canal?
D3330 is a molar root canal
After root canal therapy, the blood flow to the tooth is lost. Tooth will become brit tle, a post should be placed within 3 to 6 months to maintain integrity, and strenght. At this time the tooth will also need a crown also for strenght.
yes it can
6 year olds get their first adult molar at the back of the mouth , and if a cavity gets too deep quickly, the nerve will die, and the tooth will need root canal treatment.
In my experience the answer is yes. I have had three root canals and only one crown. Let me explain before you get excited. I had an uneventful, yet rather expensive root canal/crown combo shortly after having my son 8 years ago. Then I had another root canal done in 2/08. I had a temporary filling in place. I never went to get the crown done because it was too expensive and I had lost my dental coverage. Well fast forward to today and I had to get another root canal on that same tooth because it became reinfected and was throbbing painful. So while researching "how long until Novocaine wears off". I saw this question was unanswered and thought I could share my experience. I know the entire root canal/crown thing is really darn expensive but in my experience don't wait, 'lest you want to do it all over again.' By the way, the charge to redo my root canal was more, not less expensive the second time around. You better believe I am getting my crown right away this time.
