- CrownsOnce your first set of x-rays are complete, you will be greeted by your endodontist, who will review your paperwork and evaluate symptoms prior to testing the tooth in question along with adjacent teeth. After the tests are complete, a diagnosis will be given to determine the best treatment care and prognosis. Possible post-treatment decisions such as a crown on the treated tooth will be addressed. Your endodontist will make you aware of the benefits, options and risks involved in order for you to understand how endodontic treatment can save your tooth.

- Root Canal TreatmentEndodontics, commonly known as “root canal therapy”, is the field of dentistry focus on caring for complex tooth problems that primarily affect the tooth pulp (the inside of teeth). Endodontics is essential for preserving your natural smile so you can continue to eat your favorite foods and maintain your overall health.
- ApicoectomySometimes nonsurgical endodontic therapy and retreatment are ineffective or the root canals may be blocked or calcified. In such cases, the endodontist may then use an in-office surgical procedure called apicoectomy and root end filling to remove the root tip and seal the root canals.
- DenturesThe only other alternative 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 options require extensive surgery or dental procedures on adjacent healthy teeth, they can be far more costly and time consuming than treatment and restoration of the natural tooth.
