Problems with poor health or physical trauma can leave a tooth in a state so poor that it cannot support a dental bridge or crown. You may worry that this means the only way to work on restoring your smile is to remove and replace it, but treatment can make preserving it possible. At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, we can perform work to strengthen a tooth so that your restoration stays secure! Two different approaches can be taken to save a tooth that is badly damaged or weakened. A Post And Core treatment uses a small rod to help stabilize a crown, while a Core Buildup procedure uses a resin material to keep a damaged tooth together before the restoration is put in position.

How Endodontic Treatment Addresses Serious Dental Problems
In many situations, a routine cavity treatment will see a person’s tooth restored to good health before complications can occur. The treatment will involve the removal of decayed tissue before a permanent dental filling or crown is put in place to keep the tooth secure. Unfortunately, some oral health problems will cause more significant problems, which means they demand more involved care. Our endodontic treatment office in El Paso, TX is able to help those individuals who need to undergo work to address problems within their tooth. We can perform a root canal procedure to address an infection, or perform retreatment when a tooth shows signs of poor health after past care. If necessary, we are also able to provide surgical work to address problems in areas that are difficult to access. (more…)
Why Retreatment Is Sometimes Needed After A Root Canal
When a root canal treatment is required, care is taken to fully restore the health of a tooth by clearing away all infected tissues within that tooth’s pulp before the area is sealed. Unfortunately, new problems sometimes occur which affect the health of a tooth after it has undergone care, which means additional work is required. A retreatment procedure with your El Paso, TX endodontist carefully removes the material sealing your pulp so that physical damage or an infection can be addressed, and the tooth can be returned to good health. In addition to taking care of teeth that have been restored in the past and experience new problems, we can help if you continue to experience troubles due to complications after your root canal.
