Beyond root canal therapy, retreatment, and apicoectomy, our team also provides a full scope of advanced endodontic procedures. These include treatments such as pulpotomy, pulpectomy, apexification, revitalization, internal bleaching, traumatic dental injury management, intentional replantation, root amputation, surgical and nonsurgical repair of resorptive lesions, bicuspidization, and hemisectioning. While these procedures are less commonly needed, they are available here in our practice to address complex cases and ensure you receive comprehensive care in one place.
An apicoectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes the tip of a tooth’s root where infection is present. This approach directly targets the infected area when existing restorations make retreatment impossible, helping preserve the natural tooth and restore oral health.
Retreatment is the process of removing old root canal material from inside the tooth, thoroughly disinfecting the canals, and re-sealing the roots for long-term protection. Since root canals can occasionally fail or become re-infected over time, this procedure removes the source of infection and helps maintain the health and function of the tooth.
Root canal therapy involves carefully accessing the canal system inside the tooth to remove infected nerve tissue, eliminate harmful bacteria, and seal the space to protect it from future infection. This treatment is performed to restore a “sick” tooth, relieving pain and stopping the spread of infection so the tooth can be preserved and returned to health.
Our goal is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, using advanced endodontic techniques to eliminate infection, relieve pain, and restore long-term oral health. Depending on your needs, treatment may involve one of the following procedures:
We invest in state-of-the-art technology to deliver the most precise, efficient, and comfortable care possible. From advanced imaging to modern treatment techniques, our tools allow us to diagnose with accuracy, treat with confidence, and ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient.
In endodontics, a dental operating microscope provides crucial magnification and illumination to enhance a dentist's ability to diagnose and treat complex tooth issues. This technology allows for the identification of hidden canals, fractures, and calcifications, precise access to the pulp chamber, and better management of blockages or broken instruments during both non-surgical and surgical procedures. The enhanced visualization improves treatment accuracy and outcomes, leading to better preservation of the tooth and improved patient satisfaction.
In endodontics, Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is used to diagnose complex cases, detect root fractures and resorptions, and plan treatment for intricate canal anatomies like C-shaped canals or extra canals, significantly improving diagnostic accuracy and guiding treatment for both non-surgical and surgical procedures. It offers three-dimensional views of teeth and surrounding structures, aiding in treatment planning by visualizing canal trajectory, isthmi, and thin dentin areas, thereby reducing the risk of complications.
