Endodontic Treatment

Root Canals

When a tooth has very deep decay, sustains heavy trauma or develops an abscess, root canal treatment may be required.  During a root canal we remove the compromised pulp tissue from the center of the tooth, clean the internal tooth structure, and fill the space left behind.  This is a last resort to save a tooth.  In cases where the root canal treatment may be more complicated we will refer you to a specialist to ensure the best possible outcome for your tooth. In most cases it is recommended to crown root canal treated teeth for the best long term prognosis.
