Book nowA post-and-core is a restoration that combines a post placed inside the root canal with an artificial core (stump) built on top, used to rebuild a tooth whose crown is badly broken down after root canal treatment. It creates a strong foundation for a future crown, helping you keep your natural tooth root instead of extracting it. It is typically used when too little healthy tooth structure remains to hold an ordinary filling or crown.
- The crown of the tooth is badly decayed or broken and a filling no longer holds
- The tooth has already had root canal treatment and needs a solid base for a crown
- When you want to preserve your own tooth root rather than have it extracted
- Preparing the tooth as a support (abutment) for a crown or bridge
- Too little tooth structure remains to restore the tooth by standard methods

Consultation and X-ray
The dentist examines the tooth and uses an X-ray to assess the root and canals, deciding whether a post-and-core is suitable.

Canal preparation
The root canal is cleaned and shaped to the required depth and form to receive the post.
- 3
Impression or fabrication
For a custom post-and-core an impression is taken and it is made in a lab, or a prefabricated post is used — the method depends on the case.
- 4
Cementing the post
The finished post-and-core is fixed in the canal with dental cement and the core is shaped to receive the crown.

Placing the crown
In the final step a crown is placed over the post-and-core, restoring the shape and function of the tooth.

FAQ
How is a post-and-core different from an ordinary filling?
A filling repairs small defects, while a post-and-core anchors into the root to build a strong base for a crown when almost no crown is left.
Is the procedure painful?
The tooth is usually already root-canal treated, so the procedure is painless; local anaesthesia is used if needed.
How long does a post-and-core last?
When properly placed and cared for, a post-and-core can last many years; the lifespan depends on the tooth, the material and your oral hygiene.
Which material is better — metal or fibreglass post?
Each material has its strengths: fibreglass is aesthetic and flexible, while metal and zirconia are stronger — the best option depends on your case and is chosen by the dentist.
How many appointments are needed?
Usually 2–3 visits are needed: diagnosis and preparation, fitting the post, then the crown — the exact number depends on the method and the case.
What does the price of a post-and-core depend on?
The price depends on the material, the fabrication method (custom or prefabricated), the number of canals and the clinic level; on Dentum.uz prices start from 600,000 so'm.
