When Dr. Brandal places a temporary filling in the tooth, it is important to see your general dentist for a permanent restoration within 6 to 8 weeks.

After a root canal, the tooth may be more brittle.  To protect back teeth from damage, a full crown is usually recommended.  If there is a crown currently on the tooth, it can usually be repaired with a permanent filling.
