Caring for Your Dental Health
Endodontic treatments play a crucial role in maintaining the health of your teeth when the pulp, or the innermost part of the tooth, becomes damaged or infected. At our practice, we specialize in providing gentle and effective endodontic care to ensure that you can keep your natural teeth and enjoy a healthy smile for years to come. Explore our comprehensive endodontic services below.
Root Canal Therapy: Saving Your Tooth
Root canal therapy is a common procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected or is severely decayed. During this procedure, we carefully remove the infected pulp from the interior of the tooth. After cleaning and disinfecting the canal, we seal it to prevent future infection. Root canal therapy not only alleviates pain but also helps preserve your tooth, allowing you to continue enjoying your natural smile. Most patients report feeling significant relief following the treatment, and with proper care, the tooth can last a lifetime.
Apicoectomy: Addressing Complicated Cases
An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure performed when root canal therapy alone is insufficient to resolve an infection at the tip of the tooth's root. If the infection persists despite previous treatment, an apicoectomy can provide a solution. During this procedure, we make a small incision in the gum tissue to access the root tip, remove the infected tissue, and seal the root end. This approach allows us to save your tooth while addressing the underlying issue effectively. Our team is dedicated to ensuring a comfortable experience during recovery.
Root Canal Re-Treatment: Your Second Chance
In some cases, a tooth may require re-treatment if a new infection occurs or if the initial root canal procedure was not completely successful. Root canal re-treatment involves carefully reopening the tooth, cleaning out the existing materials, and thoroughly disinfecting the canal. We will then refill and seal the tooth to prevent further issues. This treatment provides an opportunity to address any complications and restore your tooth’s health once again. Our experienced team will guide you through the process to ensure optimal results and comfort during your journey to recovery.
