- Dental ExaminationA comprehensive examination will be performed to diagnose the source and cause of one’s symptoms. We will then determine if the tooth is a good candidate for endodontic and restorative therapy. We take the time to thoroughly discuss and explain the treatment options with all of our patients.

- CrownsWith appropriate care, endodontically treated teeth may last as long as other natural teeth. However, occasionally root canal treated teeth may become re-infected. Some are teeth that were treated many years ago and are failing because of 1) new decay or leakage under an existing old crown or old filling, 2) a cracked or loose filling or crown or 3) a fractured root. All of these scenarios involve bacterial invasion and re-contamination of the root canal spaces. These teeth become symptomatic when the infection reaches the jaw bone beyond the root canal spaces.

- Dental ImplantsMany factors affect cost associated with endodontic treatment, such as the severity of damage associated the tooth and which tooth is affected. Some teeth are more complicated (more canals to clean and seal) and time-consuming than others and the cost is reflective of the time generally needed to complete such procedures. In general, endodontic treatment with appropriate restoration of the tooth, is less expensive than removing a tooth and replacing it with an implant or bridge.
