Post Core and Crown for Anterior Tooth

Restore Your Front Tooth with Confidence

At Genesis Dentists North Melbourne, we specialise in preserving and restoring damaged front
(anterior) teeth using advanced post and core buildup followed by a dental crown. This procedure
helps rebuild a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment or has suffered severe damage due to
decay, trauma, or wear.

What Is a Post and Core?

A post and core is a foundation restoration placed inside a root-treated tooth to support a crown.
The post is inserted into the root canal to strengthen the tooth structure, and the core rebuilds the
shape of the tooth so a dental crown can be securely placed.

Key Benefits:

Strengthens weakened or fractured front teeth
Prevents extraction and saves your natural tooth
Restores natural aesthetics and confidence in your smile
Ensures long-term functionality and bite alignment

When Is It Needed?

You may require a post and crown on a front tooth if:

The tooth has had a root canal and lacks enough structure to hold a filling
There is fracture or extensive decay on your front tooth
You experience discoloration or chipping that affects appearance

Step-by-Step Procedure

Assessment & X-Rays: Evaluation of the remaining tooth structure.
Post Placement: A custom or prefabricated post is bonded within the treated root canal.
Core Build-Up: Composite or resin material rebuilds the missing tooth structure.
Crown Preparation: Tooth is shaped, scanned (using CEREC or Primescan), and digitally designed.
Crown Placement: A custom crown (porcelain or e.max) is cemented for a natural look and strength.

Caring for Your Restored Tooth

Maintain excellent oral hygiene: brush twice daily and floss carefully.
Schedule regular check-ups every 6 months at Genesis Dentists
