Root Canal and Crown

When a tooth is severely damaged or infected, a dentist may recommend a treatment plan involving multiple steps. First, a root canal removes the infected pulp and cleans the tooth. After this procedure, a crown is placed on top of the tooth to restore its strength, shape, and function. These treatments, root canal and crown, protect the tooth from further damage and ensure it remains fully functional. This combination of procedures can often save a tooth from extraction, allowing patients to maintain better oral health and avoid discomfort in the future.
