Does the endodontist put the filling and temporary crown? Or does he only do the root canal and not the temporary crown.

Hello there,Typically the endodontist performs the root canal and places a temporary filling.  After treatment is complete, you'll return to your dentist for the crown.  Depending on the dental office, the crown procedure will take 1-2 appointments.  If your dentist places a temporary crown then you'll return about a week later for your permanent crown.  Good luck and I hope this helps.

An endodontist usually does the root canal treatment and may create a space for a post then puts a temporary crown. He/she may also place a post and build up.

Endodontist typically will only perform the root canal and the place a temporary filling.  However, if the referring dentist requests, the endodontist may place a permanent filling (buildup) and post if required.  

Thank you for your inquiry.  An endodontist typically will only treat a root canal and place a temporary filling. You will then go back to your general dentist to have a permanent filling placed and prep for a crown. A temporary crown will be placed initially and then you'll have a subsequent visit to have your final crown placed. The only time a crown may not be placed is if it's an anterior tooth. We hope this helps and we wish you all the best!
