Putting crown back on molar with new buildup and post? (Photo)

As a dentist with extensive experience in Miami, I understand your concerns about your crown and the option of an implant. Given that the molar now resembles a "volcano" with limited tooth structure, an implant is a prudent recommendation due to its durability and the complexity of using a bridge next to another crowned tooth.

However, if you are considering reusing the crown with a new post and buildup, it's technically possible if there's sufficient healthy enamel and the root structure is sound. Yet, given your history of grinding, there's a risk of damaging the new restoration. A thorough examination, including X-rays, would be necessary to make an informed decision.

first of all do you have any xrays about this tooth? you said there is no infection but it is better to see an xrayafter root canal treatments even thr treatmnet is successfull the tooth are more likely to get broken... because they no longer vitalthere is very low amount of surface to fix a new bridge or a fiber post however it is very easy with digital dentistry but after we complete the treatment if that tooth gets broken the time you and dr spends and the money spend will be for nothing for this reason we are more likely to place an implantas you may know extracting the tooth and placing the implant can be done in only 10minutes without any pain and also the crown can be loaded in the same week
