A dental crown is something that a general dentist can put in place to protect a tooth that has been injured, or one with a cavity too serious for a dental filling. While you often only require general care to address these issues, there are times when more involved support is needed. Fortunately, this support is available. Your El Paso, TX endodontist can provide the necessary services to keep a tooth in place so it can be kept secure with a restoration. Without endodontic treatment to step in and address more advanced problems, an oral health problem can lead to the loss of a tooth! Whether you need to have internal work performed or care to reconstruct damaged tooth structure, we can take care of you so that you can keep your complete smile.
Will Your Tooth Be Replaced Or Restored?
When serious problems affect your tooth structure, it can be difficult to fully address them when you only rely on general dental care. If your treatment options are limited, you may receive a recommendation to have the tooth removed and replaced with a custom restoration. Does this mean you have to accept tooth loss as your only option? By bringing your concerns to an endodontic specialist, you can discover you have more options. That can mean undergoing minor oral surgery, or it can mean taking care of structural damage through a Post And Core or Core Buildup.
Restoring A Tooth’s Health So It Can Be Preserved
Through root canal therapy, or a more involved service like an apicoectomy, we can tend to problems within your tooth structure so that your health can be preserved. When you have an infection or internal injury, we can rely on a root canal to address harm within your pulp, the tooth’s central chamber. This work can often provide relief from pain and sensitivity, but there are times when problems affect areas that are difficult to reach even with this procedure. In a situation where you need support in a less accessible area, we can recommend oral surgery, often in the form of an apicoectomy, which tends to problems at a tooth’s root ends. If your tooth is not able to hold a crown in place due to structural harm, a Post And Core or Core Buildup can offer more support above the gum line to hold a restoration in position.
Talk To Your El Paso, TX Endodontic Treatment Office About Treatment For Your Tooth
It is often possible for your general dentist to restore a tooth and keep it safe. However, you may need to seek help from an endodontist to address problems that prevent you from scheduling treatment with a crown or filling. Our practice provides advanced services that can save a vulnerable tooth, including work to rebuild damage so that a crown can be held in place.
