  First, we’ll carefully reopen the treated tooth, removing any and all biocompatible material so that we can access the inner chamber and canals. Then, once we’ve thoroughly cleaned and sealed the area, we’ll place a filling to protect it from further infection. A new crown or other personalized restoration will complete your healthier, happier tooth!

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  In most situations, root canal therapy is a revitalizing procedure that successfully transforms the health and structure of a badly damaged tooth, relieving pain in a thorough and long-lasting way. However, there are some unfortunate rare cases where even after treatment has been completed, patients still experience issues. Discomfort may persist or the tooth in question might not heal in the preferred way, for instance. Thankfully, our dedicated team at Endodontic Associates is prepared for this possibility. With the help of root canal retreatment, we’ll be sure to remedy the problem and return full form and function to your smile as quickly and comfortably as possible.
• Apicoectomy
  Specialized Surgery Your endodontist also has several advanced endodontic options. For instance, if the standard approach is ineffective and inflammation or infection persists around the bony area of your tooth end, your endodontist may perform an in-office apicoectomy surgery, removing the infected tissue as well as the tip end of the tooth root, then sealing the affected a canals. Local anesthetics make the procedure comfortable, and most patients return to their normal activities the next day. Very rarely, the specialist may even choose to extract the tooth, clean and seal the canals, and replant it in position.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  The cost varies depending on how severe the problem is and which tooth is affected. Many dental insurance policies cover endodontic treatment. Generally, treatment and restoration of your natural tooth is the least expensive option. The only alternative is having the tooth extracted and replaced with a bridge, implant, or removable partial denture to restore chewing function and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting.
