Services
Root Canal
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from inside a tooth to relieve pain and prevent extraction. Our specialists use advanced microscopes and 3D imaging to ensure complete cleaning and sealing of root canals. Patients benefit from same-day treatment options and local anesthesia with optional nitrous oxide for comfort.
Cracked Teeth
Diagnosis and treatment of cracked teeth involves identifying hairline fractures causing temperature sensitivity and chewing pain. We employ specialized imaging techniques to locate cracks and determine appropriate interventions ranging from bonding to root canal therapy, preventing further damage and infection.
Apicoectomy
This microsurgical procedure removes infected tissue and the tip of a tooth's root when conventional root canal treatment fails. Using operating microscopes, we access the root through the gum tissue, place a biocompatible filling, and promote healing while preserving the natural tooth structure.
Periodontal Disease
We offer both non-surgical scaling and root planing as well as surgical interventions for advanced periodontitis. Treatment focuses on eliminating bacterial pockets, regenerating lost bone tissue, and preventing tooth loss through personalized care plans tailored to disease severity.
Dental Implants
Our Straumann implant system provides durable tooth replacement solutions for single or multiple missing teeth. The process includes bone grafting when necessary, precise implant placement using 3D imaging, and restoration coordination with referring dentists for complete oral rehabilitation.
