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.

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.

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…)
Scheduling Endodontic Treatment For A Broken Tooth

Treatment Through An Apicoectomy Can Save Your Tooth
Saving your tooth may call for a more involved dental procedure, one that you may have trouble arranging at a general dental practice. When serious problems occur, or when an issue affects a difficult-to-reach area of your tooth structure, you may need to visit an endodontist for the appropriate care. At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment facility, we offer advanced services, including apicoectomies, that tend to problems that can prove difficult to resolve. By taking this approach, we can address issues that would otherwise call for the extraction of your tooth. By choosing to have the tooth removed and not restored, you experience permanent tooth loss, and will need to go through both the extraction itself and prosthetic dental work to show off your full smile again.

When Is It Necessary To Perform Root Canal Therapy?
While it is not necessary during every cavity treatment, many people who need to undergo dental work for a cavity will require root canal therapy. This is a procedure performed to address problems within the tooth structure – it can be done when a cavity has grown enough to cause an infection, or when internal damage occurs after an injury. At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, we can provide root canal therapy for patients who exhibit symptoms of an infection due to a cavity, and for those who go through dental trauma. Our practice can actually do more than just provide a standard root canal, however. In situations where a root canal cannot reach the source of a problem, we can perform an apicoectomy. We can also offer retreatment when patients who have already undergone a root canal experience problems with their restored tooth. (more…)
Seeking Endodontic Treatment For A Dental Emergency
Your general dentist can be the first person you think to turn to when you have a possible dental emergency. While the services offered at a general practice can often help during oral health emergencies, some advanced problems can call for the care of a specialist.

In addition to providing root canal therapy, we provide services like apicoectomies and other forms of oral surgery to restore teeth that need work done in harder-to-reach spaces. We also provide work to restore tooth structure in order to support a dental crown. By offering these services, we are able to save teeth that would otherwise be extracted. (more…)
