PROCEDURES
Our Dental Procedures
Endodontic Treatment
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed – over 15 million every year.
This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges.
At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature or pain in the tooth and gums.
Endodontic Retreatment
With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth. Yet, a tooth that has received treatment may fail to heal or pain may continue to exist. Sometimes, the pain may occur months or years after treatment. If so, Endodontic Retreatment may be needed. Improper healing may be caused by:
-Curved or narrow canals that were not treated during the initial treatment.
-Complicated canals that went undetected during the initial treatment.
-The crown or restoration was not placed within the appropriate amount of time following the procedure.
-The crown or restoration did not prevent saliva from contaminating the inside of the tooth.
Endodontic Microsurgery
Occasionally, a nonsurgical root canal procedure alone cannot save your tooth and we will recommend surgery.
Surgery may be used in diagnosis. If you have persistent symptoms but no problems appear on your x-ray, your tooth may have a tiny fracture
or canal that could not be detected during nonsurgical treatment.
Surgery may also be needed to remove calcium deposits in root canals, or to treat damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone of the tooth.
Endodontists use advanced technologies like digital imaging and operating microscopes to perform surgeries quickly, comfortably and successfully.
