Root Canal Recovery

Protect your root canal with a crown

What is root canal recovery?

After a root canal, your tooth needs a dental crown for protection. Root canal treated teeth become brittle over time and are prone to fracture. A crown ensures your tooth remains functional for years to come.

Why should you treat it now?

A tooth without a crown after root canal has significantly higher fracture risk. Getting your crown promptly protects your investment in the root canal treatment.

Ideally within 2-4 weeks. The temporary filling isn't meant for long-term use, and the tooth is vulnerable to fracture.
