Endodontics

Essential Endodontic Treatments

1. Root Canal Therapy

Eliminating Infection and Preserving Natural Teeth
This procedure involves removing inflamed or infected pulp from within the tooth, cleaning the canals, and sealing them to restore the tooth’s function and health. It alleviates pain and prevents the need for extraction.

Advantages:

• Protects the tooth from further damage
• Relieves discomfort and sensitivity
• Avoids the complications of tooth loss

Process Overview:

• Removing diseased pulp tissue
• Disinfecting and shaping the root canals
• Filling and sealing to restore structure

2. Surgical Root End Resection (Apicoectomy)

Resolving Persistent Tooth Infections
An apicoectomy is performed when infections persist despite prior root canal treatment. The procedure involves removing the root tip and infected tissue to eliminate the problem and promote healing.

Ideal for:

• Teeth with recurring infections
• Cases where standard root canal procedures are ineffective
• Preserving natural teeth with minimal disruption

Steps Involved:

• Accessing the affected area through a small incision
• Removing infected tissue and root tip
• Sealing the canal to ensure long-term success

3. Tooth Restoration with Bonding (Optional)

While primarily a cosmetic service, bonding may be used post-treatment to repair any chips or cracks, ensuring the tooth looks natural and functions well.

By addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns, these endodontic treatments help preserve oral health and maintain a confident smile.
