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.
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.
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.
