What Is A Post And Core?

A core rebuilds missing tooth structure so the tooth can support a crown or other final restoration. If not enough tooth remains to hold the core securely, a post may be placed inside part of the treated root canal to help support it.
A post does not replace the tooth root or make the tooth stronger. Unlike an implant, it works with your existing root and remaining tooth structure to support the final restoration.

When Might A Tooth Need This Assessment?

If you have any of the following changes or concerns with a root-treated tooth, it may be worth having the tooth assessed for a post and core.

Little tooth structure left above the gum

A large part of a root-treated tooth has broken away.

A loose core or crown

Extensive damage beneath an old restoration

A severely weakened tooth that needs a crown

What Rebuilding Options May Be Considered?

Core Without A Post

If enough tooth remains, you may build a core without placing a post inside the root.

Fiber Post And Core

A fibre post can help hold the core when the remaining tooth and root are suitable.

Metal Post And Core

A metal post may be considered for selected teeth that need additional support.

Other Restorative Options

Some teeth may need further treatment or a different restoration instead of a post and core.

How Is Post And Core Treatment Planned?

Checking The Tooth

The tooth, gums and bite are examined, and X-rays are reviewed.

Checking The Root

The root is checked to make sure it can support the planned restoration.

Preparing

If needed, we remove part of the root filling while keeping the root sealed.

Placement

The post is secured, and the missing part of the tooth is rebuilt with a core.

Final Restoration

The tooth is prepared for its crown, and the fit and bite are checked.

What To Expect During And After Treatment

The number of visits depends on the type of post and the crown planned. The dentist may use local anesthetic if the tooth or surrounding tissues are sensitive.

You may have a temporary restoration while your final crown is being made. Avoid heavy chewing on the unfinished tooth and follow cleaning advice; contact the clinic if a temporary or permanent restoration loosens, or if pain or swelling develops.

How A Suitable Post And Core Can Help

Helps retain a core when little tooth structure remains

Rebuilds missing tooth structure needed for a crown.

Helps restore normal function in a damaged tooth

May help preserve the existing tooth for longer

A post is used only when needed to support the core. Preserving healthy tooth structure remains an important part of treatment.

Risks And Alternatives

Preparing space for a post can weaken the root and may cause damage or perforation. Posts can also loosen or fracture, while decay or infection may develop around the restoration. If retreatment is needed later, removing the post can be difficult.
A post is not always needed. A core without a post may be suitable when enough tooth structure remains. If the tooth cannot support a crown, further treatment or extraction may be considered, followed by options to replace the missing tooth.

Common Questions About Post And Core Treatment

The cost depends on the type of post and core, the final crown, and any treatment needed before rebuilding the tooth.
No. You only need a post when there isn’t enough tooth structure to hold the core securely.
No. A post supports a restoration inside an existing tooth, while an implant replaces the root of a missing tooth.
No. A post mainly holds the core in place. The tooth’s condition and remaining structure affect how well it can be restored.
Neither is best for every tooth. The choice depends on the root, remaining tooth structure, and planned restoration.
Have it checked promptly and avoid chewing on that tooth. Do not glue it back yourself, as the tooth may need further treatment.
