How does it work with Root Canals?
Crowns are used to protect teeth that have undergone root canal treatments. The removal of the nerve after root canal treatment results in reduced sensory and many times the tooth had to undergo root canal treatment because it had extensive decay which cause weakening of the tooth structure. Crowns are an excellent treatment mode to preserve tooth function and extend longevity.
