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.

Hello, porcelain veneers are bonded to the front part of your tooth and root canals are accessed through the back part of your tooth. There should be no problem with the veneer fracturing, yet if it happens tooth should be evaluated to see if a veneer or crown is a better option.

The root canals are done on the back of the tooth. Veneers dontcover the tooth on the back. The cavitie or hole is sealed with resin once the root canal is performed. On the other hand crown veneers do cover the entire tooth. and the endodontic doctor will seal off the cavitie he does on your crown veneer just like he would for your natural tooth. If a veneer brakes we need to do an impression and redo the veneer.
