Why a Crown Restoration after Root Canal Treatment?



·      Strength-Teeth that have had root canal treatment can be fragile because a large amount of tooth structure is removed during the process. A crown restoration provides strength that resists further fracturing of the tooth.

·      Good Seal-Crown restoration provides a good seal to prevent leakages and recurrent decay.

·      Durability-Strong and resistant to fracture and wear.

·      Longevity-five to fifteen years+. The life span of a crown depends on the amount of wear and tear the crown is exposed to and how well the patient follows good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing daily and seeing your dentist as recommended.



If you have further questions regarding the different types of crowns that are appropriate for your dental needs, please contact Dr. Anna Lee at 626-335-5114 or visit our website at www.annaleedds.com
