Endodontic Treatments We Offer to Heal Tooth Pain
We provide a full range of root canal services to address various dental needs.
Pulpotomies
We often perform this procedure on baby teeth. It removes the infected part of the pulp, preserving the remaining healthy portion to allow the tooth to remain in place until it is ready to fall naturally.
Root Canal Therapy
The most common apical surgery, a root canal, involves carefully removing the infected or inflamed pulp, cleaning and shaping the intricate canals, and then sealing them to prevent future infection. It is the ultimate solution for relieving pain and saving a tooth from extraction.
Root Canal Retreatment
A root canal is necessary when a previously treated tooth develops a new infection or does not heal as expected. Our endodontist carefully reopens the tooth to remove the old filling material. Advanced technology is used to thoroughly clean, disinfect, and reshape the canals before securely resealing them. This approach eliminates infection, promotes healing, and helps preserve your natural tooth for lasting oral health.
Apicoectomies
We perform this surgical procedure when an infection at the tip of the tooth's root persists after a root canal. Our specialist removes the root tip and the infected tissue, then seals the canal from the end to prevent further damage.
GentleWave® Procedure
We are proud to offer the revolutionary GentleWave® Procedure. This advanced technology uses a powerful combination of fluid and acoustic energy to thoroughly clean the entire root canal system, including the microscopic crevices that traditional methods may miss. The result is a more effective conservative treatment that often leads to faster healing.
