Can An Endodontist Keep You From Losing A Tooth?

If your general dentist is not able to recommend treatment for a problem tooth beyond extracting it and replacing it with a prosthetic restoration, you can seek a second opinion with an endodontist to review your options. During a visit at our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, you can receive a thorough review and learn about procedures that can resolve an active problem without removing your tooth! We use advanced imaging technology, including microscopes, to identify problems that may be hard to spot. We offer several advanced treatments, including oral surgery, to address problems in areas that are difficult to access and treat. By offering our services, we can protect you against losing a tooth!

The Right Procedure Can Restore The Health Of A Badly Hurt Or Infected Tooth

Serious tooth injuries and advanced cavities can pose problems that are difficult to address at a general dentist’s office. While root canal therapy provides access to the inner structure of your tooth, issues may exist beyond the reach of this procedure. However, advanced treatments can make these areas accessible so that work can proceed and stop an infection or injury from causing complications.

In addition to solving problems with hard-to-reach infections or injuries, our practice can help if your tooth has suffered significant structural damage that makes placing a dental crown difficult. Through work to rebuild that structure, we can give you the means to hold a restoration.

Using Oral Surgery To Save A Vulnerable Tooth

We can recommend oral surgery when problems affect areas like the roots of teeth, which can be damaged or experience problems with infection. During an apicoectomy, your dentist will remove the tip of a tooth’s root after carefully revealing the structure beneath your gum tissues, use that opening to treat an injury or remove bacteria, and cap it with a filling before restoring your gums. Through this work, we can prevent complications and put a stop to active discomfort while leaving your tooth intact!

Restoring Tooth Structure To Support A Dental Crown

It may be difficult to save a tooth because, simply put, too little of its healthy structure is left after a procedure. In a situation like this, a dental crown may not be recommended because your dentist is not able to secure it. Through Post And Core and Core Buildup treatments, we can deal with the loss of material by either using a small post and a filling, or applying material to add to the tooth, in order to give a restoration something to cover. These procedures give the underlying structure enough stability to make a crown a reliable long-term solution to your tooth trouble!
