Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy removes infected pulp, cleans the root canal system, and seals it to prevent further damage. This procedure alleviates pain, preserves natural teeth, and avoids the need for implants or bridges. Our use of digital radiographs, operating microscopes, and bio-ceramic materials ensures precision and long-term success.
Endodontic Retreatment
Retreatment addresses failed initial root canals by reopening the tooth, disinfecting canals, and sealing them again. This process resolves persistent infections or new issues like fractures. Advanced imaging and microsurgical tools enhance accuracy, restoring tooth health without extraction.
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy removes infected root tips and seals the canal end. This micro-surgical procedure targets hidden infections undetectable via X-ray, preserving the tooth. Patients experience minimal post-op discomfort, with full healing over months.
Cracked Teeth
We diagnose and treat cracked teeth using specialized techniques to prevent pulp damage. Treatments range from bonding to root canals, depending on crack severity. Early intervention stops pain and avoids tooth loss.
Traumatic Injuries
Emergency care for avulsed, dislodged, or fractured teeth includes repositioning, stabilization, and root canal therapy. Prompt treatment improves outcomes, especially for children with immature teeth requiring apexogenesis or apexification.
