When Is Endodontic Treatment Called For?

How does endodontic treatment really fit into smile care? What makes some problems difficult to address at your general dentist’s office? Simply put, your El Paso, TX endodontist is prepared to take on problems with teeth that need care in harder to reach areas, such as within the tooth structure. That can mean addressing decay with a root canal, or it can call for oral surgery to restore an injured tooth’s health. In some cases, we can even do work to restore a tooth’s structure so that it can be capped with a dental crown. With these more involved services, we can do something important, as a successful endodontic procedure means saving a tooth that would otherwise have to be removed.

We Provide More Than Just Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is an important service, one that restores the health of a tooth affected by serious dental decay or physical damage. This is something we can provide for patients, but it is just one of many services that are available. Even a standard root canal may not be enough to save a tooth in poor health. Sometimes, reaching a problem means performing minor oral surgery to access a tooth’s roots. In other situations, we may need to provide follow-up care on a tooth that has already undergone root canal therapy.

Determining How We Can Take Care Of You

When an oral health problem seems to call for endodontic treatment, we can perform a thorough evaluation to make sure that we know what needs to be done for your tooth. When we bring you in to evaluate you, we can rely on advanced imaging technology, including microscopes, to make sure we know exactly what kind of care your tooth requires. Accurately determining what kind of care you need means that we can provide care with more precision, and it can ensure we do not overlook a concern that might be easy to miss.

Discussing Treatment To Make Sure Your Tooth Can Hold A Restoration

Sometimes, saving a tooth means performing treatment to restore its health. In some cases, the right procedure to save a tooth means restoring the structure after treatment so that a crown can be put in place. At our office, we provide Post And Core and Core Buildup services. By providing this work, we can add to a tooth’s vulnerable or incomplete structure so that you can trust a restoration to remain in place and provide bite support.
