After canal treatment, the tooth needs to be sealed and restored to function. The choice between a filling, onlay and crown depends on remaining tissue and loading. Root canal treatment alone does not mean the same restoration is suitable for every tooth.
Assess structure and fracture risk
The dentist considers remaining walls, old filling size, cracks and the tooth's position. A heavily restored chewing tooth may need coverage of its cusps; a front tooth with a smaller defect may have different requirements. Bite and wear are also assessed. Ask how the proposed restoration protects the structure and seals the tooth. A material name alone does not explain why the design fits your situation.
Separate the foundation from the final restoration
Composite may restore a defect or form a core under a crown. An onlay covers selected areas, while a crown has a different extent of coverage. A post can help retain a core in certain circumstances but is not a universal way to strengthen the root. Discuss preparation, retained tissues and temporary work. The complete plan may involve more than the quoted price of the final crown.
Agree completion and future care
A temporary filling should not remain indefinitely without a plan. Clarify when the permanent restoration is intended and how to use the tooth meanwhile. Report a fracture or loss of the temporary filling. Afterwards, interdental cleaning, bite checks and reviews remain important. Filigranno's administrator coordinates the appointments in Lutsk. If comparing treatment in Ukraine with another country, include the core, material, temporary stage and fitting in both estimates.
