Procedures Offered
- Root Canal Treatment: This procedure removes damaged or infected pulp tissue from the inner tooth. The root canals are then cleaned, shaped, and filled to restore the tooth's structure and function. Root canal treatment is a highly effective way to preserve a natural tooth and avoid extraction.
- Endodontic Retreatment: Sometimes, a tooth that has previously undergone a root canal may develop new issues. Endodontic retreatment involves revisiting the tooth to carefully remove old filling materials, re-clean the canals, and seal them to promote long-term success.
