Advanced root canal therapy that saves natural teeth and relieves pain.
At Monteluz Dental Specialty Group, we specialize in advanced endodontic treatments to save natural teeth, relieve pain, and restore oral health. Our endodontic services include root canal therapy, root canal retreatment, and apicoectomy procedures, designed to address various stages of tooth infection and damage. With modern techniques, these treatments are effective, comfortable, and help preserve your smile.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is performed to remove infected or damaged tissue inside a tooth's pulp chamber. This procedure eliminates pain, stops infection, and preserves the natural tooth. After the pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent reinfection. In many cases, a dental crown is recommended to restore the tooth's strength and function after treatment.
Root Canal Retreatment
Sometimes, a previously treated tooth may develop new infections or complications. When this occurs, root canal retreatment is necessary. Retreatment involves reopening the tooth, removing the old filling material, and cleaning the canals thoroughly before resealing them. This process offers a second chance to save the tooth and avoid extraction if new infection has developed or if the original treatment wasn't fully successful.
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure used when traditional root canal therapy or retreatment isn't enough to save the tooth. It involves the removal of the tip (apex) of the tooth's root along with the infected tissue. A small filling is placed to seal the root, preventing further infections. Apicoectomies are often the last resort to preserve the natural tooth when other treatments are not effective.
