We’ll walk you through every step of the process, ensuring that you are comfortable and completely satisfied with the procedure.
Sometimes an endodontically treated tooth may not completely heal after the initial treatment or may develop a second infection. Wecan diagnose potential causes of post-endodontic disease and save such teeth by re-treating the root canal space and finding and eliminating the problem. Latest technology and our clinical experience can give your tooth a “second chance” thereby avoiding extraction.
There are cases where it may become necessary to surgically remove the infection at the root end of the tooth. This is known as an apical surgery or an apicoectomy. Profound anesthesia is used to prevent any discomfort during treatment. Then, after a small incision on the gum, the infected area around the roots of the tooth is cleaned and sealed and incision is sutured back.
Most general dentists are trained in the diagnosis and treatment of cracked teeth but many rely on our endodontic expertise in diagnosing and treating complicated and difficult cases, such as cracked or fractured teeth. Early diagnosis of cracked teeth is extremely important, as they often start small and progress slowly over time. The earlier it is detected and treated, the better the chance of saving your tooth.
Traumatic dental injuries can often occur as a result of an accident or sports-related trauma. These injuries can be minor, such as chipped or cracked teeth, or severe, such as dislodged or knocked out teeth. Whether the injury is minor or severe, it is important to see a dentist as soon as possible for examination. Treatment of traumatic dental injuries depend on the type and severity of the injury, which will be determined during the initial or follow-up examinations.
Dental resorption is a pathological process where the body’s own immune system mistake tooth structure for foreign tissue and begins to dissolve it, leading to the gradual loss of the tooth’s root or internal dentin. It is typically categorized as either internal (starting inside the root canal) or external (starting on the outside of the root), and is often triggered by trauma, chronic inflammation, or orthodontic pressure. Because this condition can progress silently without pain until significant damage is done, an endodontist can play a crucial role in treatment. By utilizing advanced diagnostic tools like 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), an endodontist can precisely locate the lesion, perform a targeted root canal treatment to remove the destructive tissue, and seal the area with biocompatible materials to halt the resorption and preserve the natural tooth.
