Removing the inflamed or infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and sealing the root canal, and then restoring the tooth with a crown or other protection to maintain its function, even without the pulp.
It's often best to save a natural tooth through retreatment, as advances in root canal techniques can resolve issues like untreated canals or new infections, and proper restoration can protect the tooth after healing.
Endodontic surgery may be recommended if a nonsurgical root canal isn't sufficient, as it can address undetected issues or damage, and modern technologies ensure the procedure is quick, comfortable, and effective.
Our dental practice has enhanced patient care by investing in the CS 8100 3D system, which provides faster, more comfortable, and safer imaging with improved accuracy, reduced radiation exposure, and better diagnostic capabilities.
If you suspect a cracked tooth due to pain while chewing or sensitivity to temperature, it’s important to see a dentist quickly, as early treatment can preserve the tooth for long-term function and prevent further issues.
Maintaining natural teeth is crucial for long-term dental health, as they function better than artificial replacements; saving them through treatments like root canals, especially with the help of an endodontist, is often less painful and more beneficial than extraction.
