Our Endodontic Services
Root canal therapy is a specialized procedure that may be recommended if the pulp has become damaged, inflamed, or infected. Root canals help eliminate sensitivity and pain, resolve swelling, and allow the bone around your tooth to heal.
During a root canal, the endodontist removes the infected or inflamed pulp tissue, cleans and disinfects the inside of your tooth, and places a specialized filling to seal the roots completely.
Root Canal Therapy
A root canal retreatment is needed when a tooth treated with a root canal does not heal properly or becomes re-infected. This can happen years after the initial root canal.
Some reasons your root canal may not heal prosperity include missed canals, broken or leaking fillings, or new decay that recontaminates the previous root canal.
Root Canal Retreatment
An apicoectomy is a surgical root canal procedure that addresses any lingering pain or infection at the tip of the root. Complicated tooth anatomy, large posts, or lingering, stubborn infections are all reasons you may need an apicoectomy.
While in most cases, a root canal helps save teeth and avoid extraction, your endodontist might recommend an apicoectomy if the non-surgical root canal procedure isn’t sufficient.
Apicoectomy
Occasionally, root canal treated teeth can discolor over time, and teeth that have experienced trauma can also darken over time and need a root canal and internal bleaching.
Internal bleaching is a technique endodontists use to whiten the appearance of teeth by bleaching them from the inside. Sometimes it’s used as an additional step before a crown or veneer is completed on the affected tooth.
Internal Bleaching
Endodontists have specialized training in diagnosing and treating cracked teeth and traumatic dental injuries like knocked out, dislodged, broken, or chipped teeth.
Call us immediately after experiencing a dental injury or emergency. If you want to save the injured tooth, it’s vital that you get an evaluation and receive treatment as soon as possible.
