When Restorative Dentistry Includes Oral Surgery

What kind of treatment options are available to you when you have an oral health problem? At a general dental practice, there are different services that are typically offered, but there may be limits to what you can access if you have a significant issue to address. As a result, many people will have extraction recommended to them in order to preserve their oral health. Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office can provide more advanced services to restore teeth in poor health, including services that involve oral surgery. While this can be more involved than your past experiences with restorative dentistry, the work we do to access and care for a vulnerable tooth to help you avoid the processes of extraction and subsequent prosthetic work to restore your complete smile.

A Significant Dental Problem Can Be Hard To Access And Effectively Treat

When significant damage affects a tooth, or when a problem reaches an area that is difficult to access and treat, moving forward with care can be difficult. At another practice, you may hear that the right solution is one that involves the extraction of your tooth followed by its replacement with a prosthetic appliance. What you can learn is that endodontic services, which focus on addressing trouble within the tooth structure, can help you resolve a problem without going through this process. Instead, you can have a procedure that successfully reaches and treats the issue at hand to effectively restore your tooth and smile! One option we provide is oral surgery to access and care for areas that are particularly difficult to reach.

An Apicoectomy Can Tend To Trouble With Tooth Roots

By performing an apicoectomy, your endodontist accesses a tooth’s roots so that treatment can take place in this space. The root end is removed and replaced with a filling in this service. By providing this care, we can stop a problem from worsening and creating more issues for your overall well-being.

Other Advanced Services Your Endodontist Can Provide

Not all treatments at our practice involve oral surgery. Sometimes, saving a tooth will call for a root canal procedure, or work to provide retreatment a tooth that has already undergone care in the past. We can even help you by addressing problems with too much damage to the crown (the visible portion of the tooth) through a Post And Core or Core Buildup.
