Root canal on veneer: if veneer breaks can I replace it or do I have to get a crown?

This will depend on whether the remaining tooth structure is in good condition or not. Endodontics means that the nerve of the tooth is extracted, which leads to a more weakened tooth, and with a risk of fracture if the rehabilitation is not sufficient. For a precise answer we will need a clinical and radiographic analysis to determine if a veneer is sufficient or if a crown should be placed.

In most cases, after a root canal you would need a crown. Teeth become very brittle after endodontic treatment, and crowns are regularly required to strengthen a brittle tooth.

Hello!The lower front teeth are normally very small.Due to a root canal treatment the tooth gets a big filling from the back.If the veneer comes out and the tooth remaining is very thin with a big filling,the dentist might suggest a crown .If the veneer margins are on healthy tooth structure,the veneer can be replaced by a veneer.
