There are times when cavities and dental injuries can create problems that are so severe, or so hard to access and treat, that a general practice will have little they can offer beyond the extraction of the tooth and the placement of a prosthetic appliance. Does this mean you have no way of preserving your full smile when a problem seems advanced? An endodontic treatment specialist is someone who does advanced work within the tooth structure. In doing so, they can take on health concerns that are difficult to access, which means they can treat them without making extractions necessary.
Determining what kind of care you require will call for a close review of your tooth. Our practice can provide this through the use of advanced imaging technology, which even includes microscopes. By capturing such detailed views, we can take care to find just where a problem is located. From there, we can explain what it will take to restore your oral health!
Root canal therapy is a procedure that takes care of issues within the pulp, the central chamber of the tooth. This is a form of endodontic care that we provide, but it is just one of many services available to you. At times when problems are beyond the reach of even this procedure, we can do more involved work, including work that calls for oral surgery. An advanced treatment like an apicoectomy can ultimately make your treatment and recovery easier, as you will not have to go through the experiences of having a tooth completely removed and later replaced.
There are different restorative dental services that a general practice can provide, but there are times when a problem calls for more involved services. In those situations where advanced treatment is needed, a visit to an endodontic treatment specialist can ensure that your oral health is restored without the need for having a tooth extracted.
