A post and core build-up is a foundation we create inside a heavily damaged tooth. A small post anchors into the root canal, and a core material rebuilds the tooth’s shape – giving a dental crown something solid to hold onto.
This treatment is ideal for specific situations – here’s an honest look at who it helps most, and when we might suggest something different.
We take an X-ray to assess your root’s health and gently numb the area so you feel nothing during the procedure.
A small post is carefully secured into the root canal, then we layer core material around it to recreate a natural tooth shape.
We shape and smooth the build-up so your custom crown fits perfectly – your tooth is now strong and ready.
Our dentists have restored severely damaged teeth, giving you reliable, skilled care every single time.
We use effective local anaesthesia and work at your pace – your comfort is never an afterthought here.
We only recommend a post and core when it’s truly the best option for your long-term dental health.
Good aftercare ensures your build-up heals well and your future crown lasts for years. A little care now goes a long way.
At Unique Dental in Moula Ali, we believe every patient deserves to feel heard, respected, and completely at ease before any treatment begins. We take the time to explain every step in plain language – no confusing jargon, no surprises. Your smile is our priority, and we treat it with the same care we’d give our own family.
Will a post and core build-up hurt?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. We use a local anaesthetic to fully numb the area before we begin. Since the tooth has already had a root canal, there are no live nerves inside – so the treatment is far more comfortable than most people expect. You may feel mild tenderness for a day or two afterwards, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How much does a post and core build-up cost in Hyderabad?
The cost varies depending on the complexity of your case, the type of post used, and whether additional treatment is needed. At Unique Dental, we believe quality dental care should be accessible and affordable. We’re happy to give you a clear, honest price estimate during your consultation – no obligation, no pressure. Call us or send us a WhatsApp message to book your visit today.
Do I still need a crown after a post and core build-up?
Yes – a post and core build-up is always a foundation, not a final restoration. It rebuilds the internal structure of your tooth, but a dental crown is placed on top to protect it, restore its full function, and give it a natural appearance. Think of the build-up as the walls and the crown as the roof.
How long does a post and core build-up last?
With proper care and a well-fitted crown on top, a post and core build-up can last many years – often 10 to 15 years or longer. The key factors are the health of the underlying root, the quality of the crown placed over it, and maintaining good oral hygiene. Regular dental check-ups at Unique Dental help us catch any issues early and keep your tooth going strong.
