When is it a good idea to look into treatment with an endodontic specialist? General dental practices can take on different threats to your smile, but when those threats become severe or affect hard to access portions of your tooth structure, your treatment options can be limited to plans that include tooth extraction and replacement. Your El Paso, TX endodontist can offer support with more advanced services that make extractions unnecessary. While the idea of more involved care can feel intimidating, this can ultimately limit how much work you have to plan, and it will enable you to keep your complete smile. Before you undergo treatment, we can rely on advanced imaging technology to thoroughly study your problem tooth and find the appropriate solution.
1. We Can Provide Root Canal Therapy For An Infected Tooth
For both advanced cavities and dental injuries that lead to internal problems, you can require treatment that tends to problems within your tooth structure. The pulp—the name for the tooth’s central chamber where living tissues are contained—is tended to during root canal therapy. Dr. Endo can carefully access this space in order to remove bacteria and infected tissues. After trouble is dealt with, this central chamber is sealed, and you can return to your general dentist to receive a dental crown for support.
2. A Difficult To Access Portion Of Your Tooth Structure Can Be Treated Through Oral Surgery
Oral surgery makes it possible for us to access and treat problems in parts of the tooth that are inaccessible even during a root canal. An apicoectomy is a procedure that will see your tooth’s roots carefully accessed so that an unhealthy root tip can be removed, with the placement of a filling at the root end occurring after that removal. This stops an issue that is difficult to access and has the potential to keep causing problems for your oral health and general health.
3. A Post And Core Or Core Buildup Treatment Can Restore Tooth Structure
Through a Post And Core or Core Buildup, we can take on concerns that your tooth structure is too damaged to hold a crown in place. Based on your needs, we will either use a small titanium post surrounded by a filling material or simply use the filling material to add support so that you can keep a dental crown in place.
