A problem with a severe cavity or injury may require significant work, as well as work in an area of your tooth that your general dentist can have a difficult time accessing. Significant or harder to treat issues can make a visit with a specialist necessary if you hope to preserve your complete smile. While an extraction can lead to recovery, this approach can ultimately call for more work as it requires a removal and the placement of a permanent restoration. You can find that with the right restorative treatment from your endodontist, trouble can be fully addressed while still letting you keep a tooth in place.
There are different degrees of care that we can offer to patients. For an infection, we can provide root canal therapy, which will remove harmful bacteria and damaged tissues from within your pulp. We can also offer retreatment if you have new or continued problems with a tooth that has already been through this kind of care. For issues that are not reachable with a root canal, we can discuss options for oral surgery, including the option to treat the tooth via an apicoectomy.
The problem with saving your tooth may be that it has been through too much harm to effectively restore with a crown. Through a Post And Core or Core Buildup, we can make sure that you have the needed support to keep a crown in place. After having this work done, you can go back to your general dentist to have a successful restoration and preserve your complete smile!
Restorative dentistry that preserves your complete smile can make sure you have confidence in your smile and bite health, and it can do so without the need to undergo an extraction and prosthetic treatment.
