How a Core Buildup can Literally Rebuild an Almost Destroyed Tooth
When one of your teeth is badly decayed or damaged, it may simply not have enough area left to hold a cosmetic dental restoration in place. You may begin to think that pulling the tooth is you only option. It doesn’t have to be.
A core build up can save your tooth and restore your missing tooth mass and surface area. This procedure is highly effective. It can be done prior to placing gold, porcelain-fused to metal crown, or cosmetic dental porcelain crown.
Most Houston dentists prefer to use cosmetic dental boding resin for core buildups. Many other materials were successfully used in the past, but bonding resin has the unique ability to match the color of teeth. Plus, it is biofriendly and can be shaped to recreate the missing portion of the teeth like concrete can fill a hole in pavement.
This procedure involves a process of several steps. The first step is to put you at ease and to eliminate discomfort. We numb the area around your tooth to make sure that you don’t’ feel any pain when we work on the tooth itself.
We also protect your breathing passageways and throat by placing this device called a rubber dam at the back of your mouth. The rubber dam is a device that blocks dental debris.
Once the protective measures have been taken, we start examining your tooth for signs of decay. We use a dental handpiece to probe its surface. We remove any decay that we find. Then, we reshape the remaining surface of the tooth.
To better prepare the surface of the tooth for the core buildup, we apply a mild etching solution that causes tiny lines to form in the tooth enamel. These lines give the cosmetic dental bonding resin something to latch on to and permanently bond to the tooth surface.
Once we finish this etching process, we apply the resin. Some kinds of resin harden almost immediately. More complex compounds require a special light to harden. No matter. Once the job is finished, the core buildup settles in and the tooth is basically rebuilt.
At this point we finish shaping the surface of the tooth and take impressions of all of your teeth. These impressions form a model of your mouth. We send this model to a lab, which manufactures a dental crown for your tooth out of gold, porcelain, or porcelain-fused-to-metal. Because this can take a couple of weeks, we protect your core buildup in the meantime by fitting your tooth with a temporary crown.
When your crown is ready, we call you back to your appointment and bond your permanent crown in place. All of this is made possible by a very simple, yet powerfully effective, core buildup which literally rebuilds your tooth when all appears to be lost.
