Severe dental damage, or problems that affect areas like a tooth’s roots, can be difficult to resolve at a traditional dental practice. In these situations, you may be told that your tooth has to be extracted so that your overall oral health can be restored. An extraction will have to be followed by prosthetic dental work, which means you are going through multiple procedures and experiencing the permanent loss of a tooth! Our endodontic treatment office provides services that are often capable of restoring teeth at risk for being extracted. While endodontic treatment can be more involved, it can lead to the preservation of your tooth and full smile!
A root canal is often capable of restoring a tooth that is infected or injured. However, there are times when a different approach is called for to properly restore a tooth’s health. We may need to perform oral surgery to access a portion of the tooth that cannot be reached during a regular root canal. By doing this, we can treat the site of an injury or infection and make sure it no longer affects you. We also have the ability to provide retreatment, which means we can do work on a tooth that has already been cared for in the past.
If there is not enough tooth structure left in place after an injury or advanced treatment, there may be no way to safely place a dental crown. In these situations, we can provide Post And Core treatment, or a Core Buildup, to give a crown more support! Depending on the tooth’s needs, we can use a small post to at the center of the tooth to provide support, or simply add material around the remaining structure to hold a restoration. Once this is done, you can see your dentist to have a permanent crown put in place.
