Root Canal Therapy (Endodontics)
When a tooth becomes damaged or decayed into its pulp, a root canal is often advised to preserve the tooth’s structure. Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic therapy, is designed to ultimately save a tooth from needing to be extracted in the future. The procedure removes the inflamed or infected tissue within the tooth root, which is then restored with a filling or covered with a dental crown. Although root canals may seem intimidating to many people, the procedure is typically very straightforward and actually reduces tooth pain, swelling, and sensitivity.
Tooth/Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Our dentists always strive to restore your natural tooth and prevent the need for an extraction. However, in some cases, a tooth may need to be removed if it has come loose, gotten infected, or become so damaged it cannot support a crown or other restoration. If a tooth does need to be extracted, our team will help you find the most beneficial tooth replacement option for your needs and lifestyle. If you need a tooth extraction, know that our practice offers a number of replacement options, including dental implants and bridges, that can restore your teeth with results that both look and feel natural.
