About post & core
A post and core rebuilds the internal structure of a root-canal-treated tooth with minimal remaining tooth tissue. A fibre or metal post is placed into the root canal and built up with core material to create a stable foundation for a dental crown — restoring strength and long-term function.
Who is it for?
For patients after root canal treatment whose remaining tooth tissue isn't sufficient to hold a crown directly.

Frequently asked questions
Is post & core painful?
Local anaesthesia is used and the tooth has already been root-canal-treated. The local anaesthetic means you should not feel pain during the procedure. If you do, raise your hand and we stop.
Do I need a crown afterwards?
Yes — the post is only an internal foundation. A crown is needed to protect the tooth from fracture.
