ENDODONTICS
Transform your smile and change your life.
Endodontics,commonly known as root canal treatment, is a dental specialty that focuses on treating infections and damage to the dental pulp (nerve of the tooth) to prevent the extraction of the affected tooth. This procedure is essential to save damaged teeth and relieve dental pain.
Services we offer:
- Endodontics or highly complex root canal treatment: procedure to remove the infected or damaged dental pulp and seal the root canal, thus preserving the tooth.
- Apical surgeries: removal of a segment of the tooth root and its respective sealing, used in cases where root canal treatment is not sufficient.
- Sealing of perforations due to malpractice: repair of accidental perforations in the tooth caused by inadequate previous treatments.
When is endodontics necessary?
Endodontics, is essential when the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental treatments on the same tooth, or injuries that cause cracks and fractures in the teeth.
This treatment helps to relieve severe pain, eliminate the infection and save the affected tooth, avoiding the need for tooth extraction.
