Dental emergencies can be traced to problems with physical trauma, but they can also stem from issues with advanced decay that cause a patient active discomfort. Any situation where pain or dental damage have you alarmed enough to seek urgent care should be taken seriously. Unfortunately, at a general practice, your only treatment option could be to have the problem tooth extracted, which means your smile will remain incomplete until you can arrange prosthetic treatment. By arranging care with an endodontic specialist, you can learn about treatment options where teeth can be restored and preserved.
An issue with an infection or internal damage will call for endodontic services. Root canal therapy is a common endodontic treatment, one that addresses issues within the pulp, or the tooth’s central chamber. While this is often effective at treating internal problems, it may not be an effective way to reach the source of your tooth trouble. After examining your tooth with our digital imaging technology, we can determine if something more is required. If so, we can recommend oral surgery. One example of treatment in this scenario is an apicoectomy, where a tooth’s roots are carefully revealed so that the root end can be safely removed and replaced with a filling.
The problem with saving your tooth may be that there is simply not enough of its structure left to support a crown. In this case, we can discuss Post And Core or Core Buildup treatment, which can remove this as a concern. Through these services, we can make it possible for you to safely hold a crown and enjoy a fully restored smile!
