The longer a cavity spends growing and doing harm to your tooth structure, the more vulnerable you become to complications. Eventually, bacteria can make their way through your enamel and start to gather within the tooth structure. When this occurs, you become vulnerable to the painful effects of an infection. Through different endodontic services, this problem can be addressed. Beyond just providing root canal therapy to remove harmful microbes from the pulp—the tooth’s central chamber—we can perform more involved care, even when that care calls for oral surgery.
Based on a diagnostic review of your tooth, we can determine what kind of care will need to take place to resolve cavity issues. Through root canal treatments, we are able to remove infected tissues and bacteria that have gathered and caused you discomfort. While this gives us an important degree of access, it is not the only way in which we can help. Sometimes, the right treatment is one that tends to issues with your roots. An apicoectomy is one form of oral surgery that can address concerns with roots. During the treatment, the end of an infected root can be carefully removed and replaced to resolve a threat to your well-being.
Sometimes, the trouble with decay or physical trauma is that too little of your tooth structure remains to support a crown. In this situation, we can recommend a Post And Core or Core Buildup. Through these services, we are able to add support so that a restoration can be reliably placed, something that will help you avoid the need to have a tooth extracted.
