Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures with well over 14 million performed every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges. For more information on root canal treatment at our office, please visit our root canal page.

Root Canal Surgery

Endodontic (root canal) surgery can be used to locate fractures or hidden canals that do not appear on x-rays but still manifest pain in the tooth. Damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone may also be treated with this procedure. The most common surgery used to save damaged teeth is an apicoectomy or root-end resection. For more information on root canal surgery at our office, please visit our root canal surgery page.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to replace teeth that cannot be retained through root canal therapy, or may be used to replace missing teeth. The implants are small titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone to replace the teeth in question. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.
