Question:
I already have a crown on my tooth. I went to the dentist and he said we needed to do a root canal. After the root canal he took the liberty of molding me for a crown.

My question: Do I need a new crown after a root canal? I like the crown I already have and if it's not necessary, I would prefer to save the expense and put the crown I already have back on. ...Visitor from IL

Answer:
The crown or onlay is necessary after a root canal therapy as well as a core buildup with or without a post.

You should talk with your dentist about having the old crown. If he believes a new crown is needed then its needed. You should iron this out soon. If he has already prepped the tooth you are a little late for him to explain it to you.
