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.
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.
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!
In some situations, a trip to an endodontic specialist can be called for in order to save a tooth. At our practice in El Paso, TX, Dr. Endo can use his experience with endodontic work an advanced imaging technology to find a way to save your vulnerable tooth!
