What Is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to treating the dental pulp, the soft tissue located inside each tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When this tissue becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, trauma, cracks, or repeated dental procedures, endodontic treatment can often save the natural tooth.
At Dental Beauty, our goal is to eliminate infection, relieve discomfort, preserve your natural tooth whenever possible, and restore health and comfort to your smile.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is one of the most common endodontic procedures. During root canal treatment, the infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and the root canals are sealed to help prevent future infection. In many cases, a custom dental crown is then placed to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.
Saving your natural tooth with root canal therapy can help restore comfortable chewing, maintain your natural bite, and preserve your long-term oral health.
Endodontic Surgery
In some cases, conventional root canal therapy or retreatment may not fully resolve an infection. When this occurs, endodontic surgery, such as an apicoectomy (root-end surgery), may be recommended to help preserve teeth that might otherwise need extraction.
During this procedure, the tip of the tooth's root and any surrounding infected tissue are carefully removed before the root end is sealed. Our specialist will thoroughly evaluate your condition and determine if surgical treatment is appropriate for your needs.
Advanced Microscopic Endodontics
At Dental Beauty, our endodontic specialist utilizes a high-powered dental operating microscope during root canal procedures. This advanced technology provides exceptional magnification and illumination, allowing for enhanced visualization of the intricate root canal system. Improved visibility helps identify tiny canals, hidden fractures, and complex anatomy that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Using a microscope supports greater treatment precision, more thorough cleaning of the root canal system, and can contribute to improved long-term treatment outcomes while helping preserve your natural tooth.
