How An Apicoectomy Saves A Vulnerable Tooth

There are circumstances where a tooth’s health cannot be restored by root canal treatment. In this situation, your general dentist may have no option left but to extract the tooth so that they can stop further complications from affecting you. However, this does not mean you have no chance of preserving your full smile! At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, we can evaluate you to see how our different services can help. One option we offer is treatment in the form of an apicoectomy, a procedure that carefully accesses and tends to problems with teeth roots. Through this procedure, we can carefully remove a root end and replace it with a restoration for protection. Tending to a  harder-to-access portion of your tooth gives us the means to provide restorative treatment without making extraction and prosthetic treatment necessary.

Your Endodontist Can Help You Save A Tooth At Risk Of Being Lost

When a tooth is extracted, the threat from the spread of bacteria is removed, you can be free from active discomfort, and you can start plans to restore your full smile. With that said, this approach to care means the irreversible loss of your tooth, and it makes you dependent on an artificial restoration for bite support and the preservation of your smile. To learn how a vulnerable tooth can still be saved, you can meet with your endodontist for support. We offer advanced services, even those that call for careful oral surgery, so that we can tend to a problem without making extraction a necessity.

Scheduling An Apicoectomy

After a diagnostic review to see what problems you face, we can recommend a procedure that can save your vulnerable tooth. Apicoectomies treat problems with roots, areas that are not accessible without oral surgery. We can carefully reveal a tooth’s roots so that we can provide the necessary care to restore your oral health. Once this treatment is over, you can move on from discomfort and put aside worries about tooth loss!

Reviewing Other Services That Can Restore Your Oral Health And Smile
