Root Canals
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from inside a tooth to relieve pain and save the natural tooth. Using digital radiography and microscopes, we clean and seal the canals precisely. This procedure prevents further infection and preserves dental function, often avoiding extraction. Our specialists ensure minimal discomfort through advanced techniques and personalized care.
Endodontic Retreatment
Retreatment addresses failed root canals by reopening the tooth to remove previous fillings, disinfecting canals, and sealing them again. This may be needed due to delayed crowns, new decay, or undetected complex anatomy. Our team uses 3D imaging to identify issues and restore the tooth's health with biocompatible materials.
Endodontic Surgery
Surgical procedures like apicoectomy treat persistent infections by removing the root tip and sealing the canal. This is recommended when non-surgical methods fail. We may also perform biopsies or repair damaged roots. Surgery allows us to save teeth that would otherwise require extraction, using microscopes for precision.
Internal Bleaching
Internal bleaching lightens teeth darkened by trauma or root canal treatment. A bleaching agent is placed inside the tooth and sealed, often requiring multiple sessions. This procedure restores aesthetics without damaging the tooth structure. We use microscopes to ensure safe, effective application and long-lasting results.
Cone Beam CT
Cone Beam CT provides detailed 3D images of teeth, roots, and surrounding bone to enhance diagnosis and treatment planning. This technology captures high-resolution scans in under a minute, aiding in detecting fractures, complex canals, or infections invisible on 2D X-rays. It ensures accurate, minimally invasive care tailored to each patient's anatomy.
