The Benefits of a Dental Core Buildup
If you have a tooth that becomes severely damaged and broken down, you may not have enough tooth structure remaining to hold a cosmetic dental crown securely in place. However, this does not mean you have to do without a dental crown. Houston Cosmetic Dentists at the Medical Center Dental Group can still help you by creating something called a core build up. A core build up replaces the missing portion of the tooth so it can then support gold, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or all porcelain crown.
While there are many materials we use in this process, the cosmetic dental material we prefer to use in most cases is composite dental resin that is bonded to the tooth. This compensates for the insufficient tooth mass and creates new mass for Houston cosmetic dentists to work with.
The Procedure
We like to make things painless for our patients. We believe in solutions without fear or suffering. Therefore, we always numb the area around the tooth we plan to create the core build up in. Then, we check the tooth for signs of decay, and if we find them, we remove them with dental tools which will not hurt you, because the tooth has been numbed.
Next, we will use a mild etching solution to prepare the tooth for core build up. This etching solution creates tiny lines in the tooth enamel. These lines give the cosmetic dental bonding material something to grab onto tightly so it seats more permanently into the tooth surface.
Once the etching is complete, we apply the cosmetic dental bonding resin to the tooth. Some types of resin will harden on their own. Others require exposure to a special, high-intensity light to harden.
Now, the core build up material and the tooth can be shaped to accommodate a dental crown. Once this is complete, we follow the standard procedures we always follow when making a cosmetic dental crown.
The dentist checks your bite and takes impressions of your teeth that are used to create a mold that functions as a working replica of your mouth. Making the crown is one thing, but since the crown will be working in relationship with other teeth, we need to see how it fits in with your mouth from the perspective of interaction and interrelationship with other mouth structures and teeth.

Building up a tooth like this offers the patient a number of medical advantages. These benefits include:
It is clear then that getting a core build up done is often a very important and very necessary step for us to take in order to give you the very best dental crown. It will repair any tooth severely damaged by decay or fracture, and it will save the tooth from extraction and create the foundation for a new, attractive and highly functional tooth enhancement.

- Support for the remaining tooth structure
- Better stability and retention for the crown
- Insulation that works to reduce any sensitivity that often develops between the crown soft inner tooth pulp
