Serious damage to your tooth structure is not something to take lightly. In many cases, injuries and advanced cavities can be treated by your general dentist. However, there are times when they cannot offer treatment without recommending an extraction. To determine how you can save your tooth, you can speak with an endodontist about services that make it possible to preserve your smile. For someone with damaged enamel, we can discuss a Post And Core or Core Buildup treatment. These services add to the portion of your tooth above your gum line in order to make treatment with a crown possible.
Post And Core and Core Buildup procedures provide functional stability and support for crowns that need to be placed as part of dental care. The Post And Core procedure relies on a small post that is placed at the center of the tooth, along with surrounding material to provide more security. The Core Buildup treatment is similar, however it does not require the placement of a post. Once this work is finished, you can return to your general dentist’s office to receive your crown!
Endodontic treatments can often save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted for the patient’s benefit. By scheduling an appointment with us, you can learn about advanced services, including oral surgery, which can save a vulnerable tooth. Our advanced imaging technology also helps, as we can pinpoint problems with microscopes and other imaging equipment.
Our practice is prepared to help you take on a problem with your smile, even if you worry that your tooth cannot be successfully restored. To find out how we can help you, contact Omni Endodontics in El Paso, TX by calling 915.990.3636!
