Question 1

Who is a good candidate for Post & Core Build-up?

Accepted Answer

Post & Core Build-up is usually recommended based on what we see in your exam, your goals, and the condition of your teeth and gums. During your visit, we walk through photos and imaging with you so you can see why we’re recommending this option and how it fits into your long‑term plan.

Question 2

How long does post & core build-up usually take?

Accepted Answer

The timing depends on how complex your case is, but many visits for post & core build-up can be completed in a single appointment or over a small series of visits. Before we begin, we review the expected timeline with you so you know what to expect from start to finish.

Question 3

What will I feel like after post & core build-up?

Accepted Answer

It’s common to feel a little temporary sensitivity or mild soreness after post & core build-up, especially if we worked near the gums or adjusted the bite. Most people are comfortable getting back to normal routines the same day, and any tenderness typically settles within a few days.

Question 4

How long will the benefits of post & core build-up last?

Accepted Answer

That depends on your oral health, home care, and habits like grinding or clenching. With regular check‑ups, good brushing and flossing, and any recommended night‑guard or maintenance routines, many patients enjoy the benefits of post & core build-up for many years.

Question 5

Are there alternatives to post & core build-up?

Accepted Answer

Often there is more than one way to solve a problem. When we discuss post & core build-up, we also review appropriate alternatives, including doing less, spacing treatment over time, or monitoring instead of treating right away when it’s safe to do so.
