Strengthen Your Smile with Post & Core Build-Up in Mexico

Post and core build-ups are essential restorative procedures that rebuild severely damaged teeth—especially after root canals—so they can securely hold a dental crown. At Sani Dental Group in Mexico, our experienced specialists offer custom post and core treatments that provide strength, support, and long-term stability.

Benefits of Post and Core Build Up

• Strengthens Weakened Teeth
   Reinforces the structure of a tooth that’s been damaged or had a root canal, preventing fractures or further breakdown.
  Provides Support for a Crown
   Creates a stable, solid foundation so your crown fits securely and functions naturally.
  Preserves Your Natural Tooth
   Avoids the need for extraction by rebuilding and saving the remaining tooth structure.
  Improves Function and Appearance
   Restores your ability to bite, chew, and smile confidently with long-lasting results.

Different Types of Post and Core Build Up

• Cast Post and Core

Custom-made from metal in a dental lab. Ideal for teeth with extensive structural loss, particularly posterior teeth where durability is critical.

Benefits of Cast Post and Core:

• Provides superior strength—ideal for molars and heavily damaged teeth.

• Offers long-lasting durability under high bite forces.

• Custom fit improves retention and overall stability.

Cast Post and Core offers high strength and an intimate fit, but requires more time and typically two appointments.

• Prefabricated Post with Core Build-Up

Uses a pre-manufactured post, often made of metal, fiber-reinforced resin, or ceramic.
Benefits of Prefabricated Post with Core Build-Up:

• Faster and more convenient—often completed in one visit.

• Cost-effective while still providing solid support.

• Easily adapted to different clinical situations.

• Glass Fiber Post and Core

Made from translucent fiber-reinforced composite, ideal for esthetic zones.

More flexible than metal, which helps distribute stress evenly and reduces risk of root fracture.

Benefits of Glass Fiber Post and Core:

• Highly esthetic—blends seamlessly with natural teeth.

• Flexible structure helps reduce root fracture risk.

• Perfect for anterior teeth or all-ceramic restorations.

• Metal Post with Composite Core

Typically made of stainless steel or titanium, paired with a composite resin core.

Benefits of Metal Post with Composite Core:

• Strong and durable, especially for posterior teeth.

• More affordable than lab-made options.

• Provides reliable support for crowns and restorations.

Clinical Considerations

• Tooth location matters: esthetic zones (front teeth) favor fiber or ceramic posts; molars require stronger materials like metal or cast posts.
  
  

• Amount of remaining tooth structure is critical—if minimal, a cast post may offer better retention.
  
  

• The biomechanical properties of fiber posts (e.g., modulus of elasticity similar to dentin) make them less likely to cause root fractures than rigid metal posts.

At Sani Dental Group, our specialists assess each case using advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to recommend the most appropriate post and core system—ensuring long-term success, esthetics, and patient comfort.
