Services
Root Canals
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and seals the root canals, and preserves the natural tooth structure. This procedure alleviates pain caused by inflammation or infection and prevents the need for extraction. Our specialists use advanced tools like microscopes and lasers to ensure thorough cleaning and long-term success.
Retreatment
Retreatment addresses failed root canals by reopening the tooth, removing previous filling materials, and disinfecting the canals again. This procedure is recommended when a tooth does not heal properly after initial treatment. Using 3D imaging, we identify hidden canals or fractures to improve outcomes and restore oral health.
Apicoectomy
Apicoectomy involves removing the infected tip of a tooth's root and sealing the end to eliminate persistent infections. This microsurgical procedure is performed when retreatment is not viable. We use specialized instruments and microscopes to access hard-to-reach areas and promote healing of surrounding tissues.
Cracked Tooth Treatment
We diagnose and treat cracked teeth using cone beam CT and microscopes to assess the extent of damage. Treatment often includes root canals and crowns to stabilize the tooth. Early intervention is critical to prevent cracks from worsening and preserve the tooth's functionality for years.
Emergency Endodontic Care
Our team provides prompt treatment for traumatic dental injuries, including fractured teeth and severe infections. We prioritize timely care to improve prognosis and reduce complications. Advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques help us deliver effective solutions for urgent endodontic needs.
Questions
What is endodontic treatment?
Endodontic treatment focuses on diagnosing and treating issues within the tooth's pulp, including root canals, retreatments, and surgical procedures.
Why might I need a root canal?
A root canal is necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, often due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, to relieve pain and save the tooth.
What happens after root canal therapy?
A temporary filling is placed, and you must return to your dentist within 1-2 weeks for a permanent restoration to protect the treated tooth.
What technologies do you use?
We use cone beam CT, dental microscopes, Biolase lasers, and digital radiography for precise diagnostics and effective treatments.
What if my tooth cracks after treatment?
Cracked teeth can often be saved with a root canal and crown, but untreated fractures may require extraction to prevent further complications.
