Endodontics is a dental specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of issues related to the inside of the tooth, particularly the pulp. Root canal therapy, the most common endodontic procedure, helps save damaged or infected teeth, relieving pain and restoring tooth function.
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy is a minor surgical procedure used to treat persistent infection or inflammation at the root tip of a tooth after a root canal. It involves removing the tip of the root and sealing it to prevent further issues.
This treatment helps save the natural tooth and eliminate infection when standard root canal therapy isn’t enough.
Broken Teeth
Broken teeth can result from trauma, decay, or biting hard objects, leading to pain, sensitivity, or sharp edges. Prompt dental treatment is essential to prevent infection and restore the tooth’s structure and function.
Depending on the severity, options like bonding, crowns, or veneers can effectively repair and protect the damaged tooth.
Whitening Traumatized Teeth
Whitening traumatized teeth involves addressing discoloration caused by injury or internal damage. Unlike typical surface stains, trauma-related darkening often requires specialized treatments, such as internal bleaching or root canal therapy combined with whitening techniques.
Treatment must be customized to protect the tooth’s health while improving its appearance, restoring both color and confidence in your smile.
Root Canal
A root canal is a procedure used to treat infection or damage inside a tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further issues. This treatment relieves pain and helps save your natural tooth.
Root canals are safe, effective, and often completed in one or two visits, allowing you to restore your smile and maintain long-term oral health.
Tooth Sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity causes sharp pain or discomfort when eating or drinking hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods. It can result from worn enamel, exposed roots, cavities, or gum recession.
Treatment options include desensitizing toothpaste, fluoride treatments, or dental procedures to protect exposed areas and reduce discomfort.
