What is a core buildup procedure?
- Core buildup is a restorative procedure performed on a tooth to rebuild, strengthen, and provide a stable foundation for a crown. The core is reconstructed using a durable material, such as composite resin, to replicate the tooth’s natural shape and function.
- Core buildup is indicated when a tooth has been weakened by decay, fractures, or large fillings. It is also necessary for teeth that have undergone root canal therapy and require additional support for crown placement.
