Tooth injuries and severe cavities can create oral health problems that require endodontic care. Sometimes, a patient only requires a root canal procedure to restore the health of their tooth, but there are situations that demand other, more involved procedures. At our El Paso, TX endontic treatment facility, we can bring you in for a consultation to help you understand what condition your tooth is in, and we can review how the right treatment can help you. We offer a range of services, including surgical procedures to treat hard-to-access problems. We are also able to do work to rebuild teeth that are in poor condition so that they can be saved and restored!
Is There Still A Way To Save Your Infected Or Injured Tooth?
An advanced cavity or injury may affect an area of your tooth that is not easily identified with an x-ray, or in the course of a nonsurgical dental procedure. This does not mean that the tooth’s damage is not treatable, or that an extraction is the only recourse left to improve your oral health. If you have a problem that requires oral surgery, or if you have issues with a tooth that has already undergone a root canal procedure in the past, we can discuss procedures that can restore and save it!
We Can Offer More Than A Traditional Root Canal Procedure
During a traditional root canal procedure, problems with a tooth’s pulp are addressed via the removal of unhealthy or infected tissues, as well as bacteria, before the area is safely sealed. Root canals make it possible to save teeth that become infected due to an advanced cavity, or because your pulp is exposed after an injury. While this is a common form of endodontic care, our practice can offer other services to make sure a problem is fully addressed. That can mean performing an apicoectomy, which tends to problems at the tooth’s root end, or it can mean performing retreatment if a restored tooth exhibits new problems.
Discuss Treatment To Save A Badly Damaged Tooth
In addition to dealing with injuries and infections in difficult to access areas, our practice can provide support for teeth that are not currently strong enough to hold dental crowns. A Post And Core treatment or Core Buildup may be appropriate actions to strengthen a tooth and provide stability for a restoration. Through this work, we can prevent the need for extraction and prosthetic treatment!
