Why do dental problems sometimes lead to the extraction and replacement of teeth? General dental care can protect your full smile by addressing potentially serious issues with dental damage and decay, including problems that call for root canal therapy. However, there are issues that leave teeth in such poor condition that it can seem as though extraction is the only option. Before you give up on your complete smile, you can talk to your El Paso, TX endodontist to learn about more involved procedures that can help you. If your dentist is concerned about a dental crown’s stability, we can perform a Post And Core or Core Buildup to add to your tooth structure and offer more support. (more…)
Restoring Your Tooth With An Apicoectomy
Root canal therapy can remove bacteria and damaged tissues inside your tooth. By performing this procedure, we can stop an infection before its continued spread creates more difficulties for your oral and general health. Unfortunately, while a root canal makes involved treatment possible, problems can exist beyond the reach of this procedure. A general dentist may have no treatment recommendation for you at this point beyond extracting your tooth. However, your El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office can recommend oral surgery to target and resolve these less accessible issues! One service we can offer is an apicoectomy, a procedure where your tooth root is carefully revealed so that we can remove its tip and replace it with a filling to keep your smile safe. (more…)
Scheduling A Root Canal For A Dental Injury
When people think about oral health problems that call for treatment, they often think about cavities. While a good routine can protect you from this problem, decay is a common threat. However, it is not the only source of oral health trouble that can lead to problems within your tooth structure that call for endodontic treatment. Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office can help you deal with a serious injury that causes internal tooth damage. We use advanced imaging technology to evaluate problems and determine treatment options. With the right service, we can restore a vulnerable tooth’s health by dealing with internal issues, and we can also help rebuild tooth structure to support a crown! (more…)
Endodontic Treatment For A Severe Cavity
At a routine dental exam, your dentist can identify a cavity that has recently formed. That early detection results in treatment to stop decay from spreading further and creating more trouble for your tooth, and for your general well-being. Unfortunately, when decay is not addressed in a timely manner, complications that lead to pain and sensitivity, as well as potential infection risks, can affect you. For an advanced cavity, it may be necessary to seek the services of an endodontist. At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, we provide different services for more severe issues with poor dental health. These services include oral surgery to save a tooth that would otherwise have to be extracted due to its poor condition. (more…)
Why Retreatment Is Sometimes Necessary
Will you need to arrange follow-up treatments for a tooth after you undergo root canal therapy? Typically, this one procedure will be able to permanently address your oral health trouble, meaning you should not have lingering issues after it is performed. With that said, when an infection is not completely addressed, or when a new problem develops at a later date, it can become necessary to perform retreatment. Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office can help you in this situation. By doing work to carefully reveal your tooth’s inner structure, deal with an infection or damaged area, and re-seal your pulp, we can make sure your tooth’s health is truly restored so that you no longer have to worry about your discomfort.

How Endodontic Treatment Stops Tooth Pain
Tooth pain is hard to ignore, and often a sign that something is seriously wrong with a tooth’s health. If you start to experience serious or persistent pain, what will it take to restore your oral health and stop your discomfort? This kind of discomfort can point to problems within the tooth structure, and that can call for a visit with your El Paso, TX endodontist! The services we provide address troubling tooth infections as well as injuries that cause internal problems. In addition to restoring your oral health through root canal therapy, we can recommend more advanced services, including minor oral surgery, to save an painful, unhealthy tooth you may be at risk of losing. (more…)
Endodontic Care For A Dental Emergency

Your Endodontist Can Provide Root Canals
If a cavity keeps growing, it will eventually work through your enamel and dentin, which means bacteria will gain access to your pulp. The pulp contains living nerves, making this infection a potentially painful one! Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office is prepared to help you if you find that you need root canal therapy. We can thoroughly evaluate your tooth to confirm that the procedure is needed before removing bacteria and damaged tissues from within. After this work is done, you can see your dentist to have the tooth permanently restored. One benefit to seeing an endodontist is that we offer additional services that can restore a tooth when even a root canal is not capable of saving it! (more…)
What Can I Do If My Tooth Is Unable To Support A Crown?
Are you worried that your tooth needs to be removed because it cannot support a dental crown? Restorations need some measure of stability from the teeth they protect. A severe cavity or physical trauma can damage enough of the tooth above the gum line to make that support unavailable. Rather than simply accept that there is no way to save your tooth, you can bring this matter to your El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office and learn more about Post And Core and Core Buildup treatments. We can evaluate the tooth and recommend a procedure to “rebuild” the structure, a process that sometimes involves the careful insertion of a metal post to provide stability for the restoration you receive. (more…)
Can A Severe Cavity Call For Endodontic Treatment?
Under many circumstances, people will turn to their general dentist for help when they have a cavity. When caught in time, tooth decay can do a limited amount of harm. However, the more time a cavity has to grow, the more damage it will ultimately do to your tooth structure. Eventually, the problem will lead to the formation of an infection within your tooth. At this point, complications can lead to the need for endodontic treatment. At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, our advanced imaging technology gives us the ability to closely study a tooth in poor health. After identifying what is wrong, we can talk to you about your treatment options. In addition to root canal therapy, we can recommend more involved services, including oral surgery, to fully restore a tooth’s health. (more…)
