  The risks include the possibility of instruments broken within the root canals; extrusion of endodontic irrigating solution causing facial swelling; extrusion of filling materials necessitating further treatment; perforations (extra openings) of the crown or root of the tooth; damage to bridges, existing fillings, crowns or porcelain veneers; loss of tooth structure in gaining access to canals; and cracked teeth. During treatment, complications may include blocked canals due to fillings or prior treatment; natural calcifications; broken instruments; curved roots; periodontal disease (gum disease); and splits or fractures of the teeth.
• Crowns
  Our Patient Care Coordinator (PCC) will review post-op instructions with you immediately after your procedure. You can also expect a follow-up text from our office following your treatment. In most cases, a return visit to your general dentist will be necessary for permanent restoration of your filling or crown.
