- Dental ExaminationEndodontic patients can expect to receive a comprehensive examination to diagnose orthofacial pain and pulpal injury and determine if the tooth is a good candidate for non-surgical endodontic therapy.
- Fillings
- CrownsIf endodontic retreatment has been selected as a solution to your problem, your doctor will reopen your tooth to gain access to the canals. The old filling material will be removed and your doctor will clean and examine the inside of the tooth. Once cleaned, the doctors will fill and seal the canals and place a temporary filling in the tooth. You will then need to return to your dentist as soon as possible in order to have a new crown or restoration placed on the tooth.
- Bridges
- Root Canal TreatmentAlthough atypical, a tooth that has received root canal treatment may fail to heal properly or pain may continue to exist. The pain may occur months or years after treatment. If so, endodontic retreatment, or “repeat root canal treatment” may be needed.
- ApicoectomyOccasionally, a nonsurgical root canal procedure alone cannot save your tooth and your endodontist will recommend surgery. Read on to learn why you might need endodontic surgery and view a step-by-step explanation of the most common surgical procedure, an apicoectomy.
- DenturesOften, the only alternative to surgery is extraction of the tooth. The extracted tooth must then be replaced with an implant, bridge, or removable partial denture to restore chewing function and to prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. Because these alternatives require surgery or dental procedures on adjacent healthy teeth, endodontic surgery is usually the most biologic and cost-effective option for maintaining your oral health.
