Root Canal Treatment
At the center of your tooth is pulp. Infection of this pulp can occur, requiring endodontic treatment. A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. A simple root canal can save your natural teeth.
Apicoectomy
Occasionally root canal treatment fails to heal a tooth, and further treatment may be necessary. An apicoectomy can be used to locate fractures or hidden canals that cause pain. The most common surgery used to save damaged teeth is an apicoectomy.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. With dental implants, people are rediscovering the comfort and the confidence to eat, speak, laugh, and enjoy life.
