Following a root canal operation, dental crowns are a possibility but they are optional. You typically need a dental crown if the root canal treatment is at the back grinding teeth, molars, and premolars. Front teeth, canines, and incisors may not need a crown but it is up to the dentist’s evaluation and recommendation.
Studies have indicated that teeth treated with a crown have a sixfold survival rate compared to those that are not. A crown can protect the tooth from sensitivity, retains the natural color, prevents infections, and lasts longer. View the other services we offer at Summit Smiles.
