Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
• X-rays

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning

Restorative

• Fillings
• Crowns
  The pulp extends from the crown of the tooth to the tip of the roots where it connects to the tissues surrounding the root. The pulp is important during a tooth’s growth and development. However, once a tooth is fully mature it can survive without the pulp, because the tooth continues to be nourished by the tissues surrounding it.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  All about root canals with Durham Endodontist Deb Conner DDS MS, a root canal specialist who can answer your questions.
• Apicoectomy
  An apicoectomy. When the infection outside your tooth has built a little fortress around itself, your body can't get rid of it. The only option is to cut it out.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  The 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 retreatment and restoration of the natural tooth.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Endodontic treatment, along with appropriate restoration, is a cost-effective way to treat teeth with damaged pulp and is usually less expensive than extraction and placement of a bridge or an implant.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Tooth Extractions

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Non-vital bleaching - your tooth can be whitened from the inside of the tooth (of course, this is only done on teeth that have had a root canal treatment). This typically takes several visits to get the color right so it matches your other teeth.
