A serious problem with your tooth can be both painful and scary. After an initial meeting with your general dentist, it can also leave you thinking that extraction is the only treatment option left to you. By setting up a consultation at an endodontic treatment office, you can learn about advanced procedures that may be able to save your tooth. Our El Paso, TX endodontic practice provides root canal therapy, retreatment for teeth that have already been worked on, and even oral surgery to treat problems that are difficult to access. We can also look into restoring a badly damaged or decayed tooth enough to make the placement of a restoration possible.
Endodontic Treatment Can Save A Tooth At Risk Of Being Lost
While tooth extraction can lead to prosthetic work that restores your smile and oral health, you can be understandably unhappy with the idea of losing a tooth. By meeting with an endodontist to have your dental issues addressed, you can discuss procedures that are capable of resolving problems that general dental practices do not address. We rely on advanced imaging technology, including microscopes, to provide a remarkably detailed survey of a tooth to see what can be done for it.
Arranging Oral Surgery To Restore A Tooth’s Health
If necessary, it is possible for us to arrange oral surgery to treat an issue with a tooth that a traditional root canal procedure cannot reach. One common practice is to perform an apicoectomy. This treatment will see your endodontist carefully access a tooth’s roots in order to carefully remove its end, provide necessary care, and restore the root end with a filling. This can be necessary if a problem affecting your tooth calls for the manipulation of soft tissues.
Restoring A Tooth So That It Can Hold A Permanent Restoration
Sometimes, the problem with a tooth is that there is just not enough of its crown (the portion above the gum line) left to make the placemnet of a restoration possible. Through post and core treatments and core buildup, we can take care of these teeth and ensure that you do have room to have a dental restoration put in place by your dentist!
