Will I Need a Crown After Root Canal Therapy?
A dental crown is often recommended following root canal therapy treatment to protect the tooth. Once the pulp is removed, a tooth can become more brittle over time, making a crown the most reliable way to restore biting strength and long-term function. Our practice uses CEREC technology, meaning many patients may receive a same-day crown without a second visit. Whether a crown is right for your specific tooth will be confirmed during your consultation.
Why Choose Our Root Canal Treatment?
Our practice serves Greensboro patients across neighborhoods including Fisher Park, Irving Park, Hamilton Lakes, and surrounding communities throughout Guilford County. Dr. Kwon graduated from the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry and has dedicated extensive continuing education hours to endodontics, IV sedation, and advanced dental technology. Our team also includes Drs. Garretson and Morrow, each authorized to provide IV sedation, a meaningful distinction that directly benefits patients undergoing root canal therapy. Several reasons Greensboro patients trust our dental care team for this treatment include the following:
▸ A multi-doctor practice with IV sedation authorization, rare among general dentists in North Carolina.
▸ CEREC same-day crown capability that may allow post-root canal restoration in a single appointment.
▸ Digital X-ray technology for precise diagnosis and treatment planning before the first instrument is ever used.
▸ A full range of sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation to suit every comfort level.
▸ A compassionate, patient-centered team that explains each step so you feel informed throughout your care.
A root canal performed with the right technology and sedation support can be a straightforward path back to a pain-free, healthy smile. To schedule your consultation, call
