If your tooth is hurt, your first impulse can be to schedule an appointment with your dentist. However, the treatment you require may need to come from a specialist. Because our practice is focused on treatments that address internal damage, we can take care of injuries that leave a tooth in poor condition, even if the damage is hard to reach. This can be particularly helpful if you show signs of infection or damage around a tooth’s roots, which means that you may require oral surgery to have the appropriate work done. We use advanced imaging technology, including microscopes, to determine the location and severity of problems.
Treatments like apicoectomies are able to respond to severe infections as well as injuries that affect a tooth’s roots. After carefully revealing the tooth’s roots, a root’s end can be removed, affording your endodontist the opportunity to deal with bacteria or damaged tissues. Once this is done, the root end is replaced with a special filling, and your gums are cared for so that they can heal properly.
A badly damaged tooth may not have enough enamel left above the gum line to support a dental crown. Does this mean that the tooth has to be removed? Fortunately, work can be done to rebuild your tooth structure and support a restoration. Through post and core and core buildup treatments, we can make sure that a crown is properly supported, which means you preserve your full smile and avoid an extraction!
Our endodontic treatment office is ready to help you if you experience a dental emergency. In addition to dealing with severe or hard-to-reach problems, we can provide care to restore a tooth enough to hold a permanent restoration.
