After your dentist performs restorative dental work to address a cavity or tooth injury, you should be free from discomfort. While advanced decay and trauma can lead to issues with lingering pain, the cause of your discomfort is resolved through root canal therapy. During this procedure, the bacteria and infected tissues within your tooth are cleared away, stopping problems from spreading. Unfortunately, patients sometimes experience difficulties after a procedure is done. That discomfort can take the form of pain that continues to concern you, or a new issue with discomfort that occurs after a period of time. At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, we can examine the tooth to find out what the matter is, then resolve it, to put trouble behind you. This work, known as retreatment, can protect you from complications that could cost you your tooth! (more…)
Some Dental Problems Require More Than Root Canal Therapy
There is no one treatment that is recommended any time a patient has a cavity. A cavity that is caught early can be treated with a dental filling after your dentist removes decayed tissues and properly cleans the tooth. However, if the cavity grows large enough to cause an internal infection, it will require more involved treatment. While root canal therapy is often effective when responding to infections, it is not always the right procedure. Infections can create problems that are beyond your dentist’s reach even with this procedure. If this is a problem that you experience, our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office can help. Our practice is dedicated to treating issues within a tooth that impact your oral health. Through more involved treatments, including oral surgery, we can address problems that cannot be addressed with a root canal. (more…)

Discussing Restorative Dentistry With An Endodontist
Restorative dental work can often be completed at a general dentist’s office. Routine issues with tooth decay can be resolved with the placement of a dental filling or dental crown. With that said, problems with decay can often lead to trouble with a tooth’s internal health. Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment facility is prepared to work with patients who are at risk of losing a tooth because of advanced decay or an injury. This may mean performing root canal therapy, but we are also prepared to restore vulnerable teeth by performing oral surgery. Our services are relied on in situations where a general dentist might have no treatment to provide beyond the extraction of a tooth. (more…)
Performing An Apicoectomy To Save A Vulnerable Tooth
If you have a problem with a tooth that cannot be addressed through root canal therapy, is there any way to avoid having it extracted? In some cases, problems with a tooth’s root can make it necessary to perform oral surgery to restore your oral health. One procedure that is often used to help patients with root troubles is an apicoectomy. This will see the root end of your tooth carefully removed so that hard-to-access problems can be addressed. Once the work is done, the tooth is restored with a root end filling that keeps the tooth safe against further trouble. To schedule an apicoectomy, you can reach out to our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office. To learn if this procedure, or some other advanced treatment, might be right for you, we do welcome patients who want to arrange consultations to discuss their dental troubles. (more…)

At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, we are able to respond to problems that require more advanced care. In addition to traditional root canal therapy, we are prepared to perform oral surgery in order to save a vulnerable tooth. Work that preserves your natural tooth can keep your smile fully intact while helping you avoid the need for an extraction and placement of a dental prosthetic. (more…)
Discussing A Serious Dental Concern With Your Endodontist

Our El Paso, TX endodontic practice provides root canal therapy, retreatment for teeth that have already been worked on, and even oral surgery to treat problems that are difficult to access. We can also look into restoring a badly damaged or decayed tooth enough to make the placement of a restoration possible. (more…)

Reasons To Trust A Tooth’s Retreatment To An Endodontist
After root canal therapy and the placement of a dental crown, a tooth should remain secure and free of pain. For many people, their initial treatment will effectively put a stop to any oral health problems they were experiencing. However, others may find that they still have tooth pain to address, or they may begin to experience new troubles at a later date. When problems affect a tooth that has previously been treated, retreatment can be necessary. Retreatment is a process where a tooth is carefully restored a second time in order to remove a new infection, or to make sure all bacteria and damaged tissues are removed. Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment facility is prepared to provide these services. In addition to focusing on matters that concern the internal health of a tooth, we can rely on advanced imaging technology, including microscopes, to make sure the source of your dental problems is found and addressed. (more…)
Why A Cavity Sometimes Requires Endodontic Treatment
A cavity treatment can sometimes involve no more than the removal of infected tissues and the placement of a dental filling. With that said, a procedure to restore the health of a tooth affected by more severe decay can be more involved. If too much time passes and a cavity grows too large, endodontic treatment can become necessary. Root canal treatment is relied on to remove bacteria and infected tissues found within a tooth, though a severe infection could call for oral surgery. At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, we provide services that can restore teeth with complicated cavity troubles. With advanced imaging technology, we have the ability to thoroughly study a problem tooth and find out what needs to take place to restore it. When that treatment is complete, you can return to your dentist to have your tooth restored and protected! (more…)
