Below are descriptions of our primary services.

 

Root Canal Treatment

In this procedure, the diseased tissue from the inside of the root is removed.  Next, the empty space is filled with a root canal filling material. Those are the basics of a “root canal”. If you would like to learn more, please visit this site:

Endodontic Retreatment

If a tooth does not heal as expected following root canal treatment, it may be necessary to retreat the root canal. Endodontic retreatment involves removing the old root canal filling material, disinfecting the tooth, and then replacing the old filling material with a new root canal filling material.

Root Canal Surgery

Typically, a tooth which has had a root canal will last for a lifetime. In few cases, months or even years after a root canal has been successfully completed, a surgical procedure may be necessary to help save your tooth.
