Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to repair and save a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. This treatment becomes necessary when the pulp—the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels—becomes inflamed, damaged, or dies due to decay, trauma, or infection. In some cases, symptoms such as sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting, or swelling may appear. However, damage may also occur without noticeable symptoms.
During the procedure, the infected or dead pulp tissue is carefully removed from the root canal using small, flexible instruments. To ensure complete disinfection, we utilize the advanced Gentlewave irrigation system, which helps remove bacteria and toxins from the tooth’s internal space. Once the canal is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, it is filled with a biocompatible material—typically Gutta Percha—and sealed with a bioceramic sealer. In rare cases, alternative materials like mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or BC putty may be used.
After a root canal, the tooth will no longer respond to temperature sensitivity and will function normally. To restore its strength and protect it from future damage, a full coverage restoration such as a crown is often recommended.
Root canal treatment allows you to retain your natural tooth, helping preserve your bite, jaw structure, and overall oral health. Our goal is to make the process as comfortable and effective as possible, using the latest techniques and materials for long-term success.

Endodontic Retreatment
Root canal retreatment is performed when a previously treated tooth does not heal properly or develops new symptoms such as pain or infection. While most teeth that undergo root canal therapy can last a lifetime with proper care, issues can arise months or even years later, requiring additional treatment to save the tooth.
Several factors can contribute to the failure of initial treatment. These include untreated or undetected curved or narrow canals, or the delay in placing a crown or restoration, which allows bacteria to re-enter the tooth. Additionally, if the crown or restoration does not adequately seal the tooth, it can lead to contamination and infection.
New complications may also affect a previously treated tooth. These can include new decay that exposes the old root canal filling, or a cracked or loose filling or crown, which compromises the seal and invites reinfection.
During retreatment, the tooth is reopened to allow access to the root canal system. Any restorative materials, such as crowns or fillings, are removed as needed. The previous root canal filling is carefully taken out, and the canals are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and examined for additional or previously missed anatomy. Once cleaned, the canals are refilled with new material, sealed, and a temporary filling is placed.
After the retreatment, it is essential to return to your general dentist promptly for the placement of a new crown or permanent restoration to protect the tooth and restore full function.

Cracked and Fractured Teeth
Cracked teeth can present with various symptoms such as pain while chewing, sensitivity to temperature, or discomfort when releasing biting pressure. These symptoms may come and go, making diagnosis challenging. Cracks can irritate the tooth’s pulp, and over time, lead to irreversible damage, infection, or even spread to the surrounding bone and gum tissue if left untreated.
Cracks vary in type and severity:
Craze Lines are minor cracks that affect only the outer enamel. They are common in adults and typically harmless, requiring no treatment.
Fractured Cusps occur when part of the chewing surface becomes weakened and breaks off. While this may not always damage the pulp, some cases do require root canal treatment. The tooth is typically restored with a crown.
Cracked Teeth have fractures that extend from the chewing surface toward the root. If the crack reaches below the gum line or root surface, the prognosis depends on how far it extends and the extent of bone loss. Root canal treatment is often required, and without timely care, the tooth may be lost.
Split Teeth result from untreated cracks that progress until the tooth separates into distinct parts. While the entire tooth cannot be saved, endodontic treatment may help preserve a portion, depending on the extent and location of the split.
Vertical Root Fractures begin at the root and move upward. These are often asymptomatic and difficult to detect. If salvageable, treatment may involve removing the affected root via endodontic surgery; otherwise, extraction is necessary.
Early diagnosis is essential to preserve the tooth whenever possible.

Dental Trauma
Dental trauma requires expert and timely intervention to preserve the affected tooth and support long-term healing. Whether a tooth is displaced, loosened, or completely knocked out, prompt care significantly improves the chances of saving it.
Luxated Teeth are those that have been moved out of position due to injury—either pushed back into the socket or shifted forward or sideways. In these cases, your endodontist or general dentist will carefully reposition and stabilize the tooth. Root canal treatment is typically initiated within a few days of the injury to prevent infection, with medication placed inside the tooth. A permanent filling is placed once healing begins. Early evaluation is critical—prompt assessment of the pulp (nerve) health increases the likelihood of saving the tooth.
Avulsed Teeth are completely knocked out of the mouth. This is a true dental emergency. If this occurs, it is vital to keep the tooth moist—ideally by placing it back in the socket, or storing it in Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution, milk, or clean water. The chance of successful reimplantation drops significantly if the tooth is not placed back within 60 minutes. Immediate attention from an endodontist or oral surgeon is essential.
After the initial treatment, traumatized teeth require ongoing monitoring. Nerve damage may not appear right away, so regular follow-up visits are important for early detection and treatment of any developing issues. Our team will schedule check-ups as needed to ensure your tooth heals properly and remains healthy.

Apical Surgery
Endodontic surgery is a minor surgical procedure performed to remove infection and preserve a natural tooth when conventional root canal treatment is not enough. While most root canal treatments are successful, certain cases—such as those involving persistent infection, hidden or complex canal anatomy, or damaged root surfaces—may require surgical intervention to fully resolve the problem.
The most common form of endodontic surgery is an apicoectomy, also known as a root-end resection. This procedure is typically recommended when a cyst or inflammation remains after a previous root canal, or when infection recurs.
During an apicoectomy, a small incision is made in the gum tissue to access the underlying bone and infected area. The inflamed or infected tissue is removed along with the tip of the root. The end of the root canal is then sealed with a special root-end filling to prevent reinfection, and the gum is sutured closed. Over the following months, the bone will naturally regenerate around the root, restoring the tooth to full function.
Some mild discomfort or swelling is normal after surgery and should subside as healing progresses. We will recommend appropriate pain management to ensure your comfort during recovery.
Endodontic surgery offers a valuable opportunity to retain your natural tooth, avoiding extraction and more invasive replacement options. Our team will carefully evaluate your case and guide you through each step of the surgical process to ensure the best possible outcome.

Vital Pulp Therapy
Vital pulp therapy is a conservative treatment approach designed to preserve the health of a tooth’s nerve (pulp) and support natural healing. This procedure is ideal when the pulp is inflamed but still capable of recovery, helping to avoid the need for root canal treatment.
An Indirect Pulp Cap is used when decay is close to the nerve but has not penetrated it. After carefully removing most of the decay, a medicated cement is placed under a temporary or permanent filling. This allows the tooth to rebuild a protective layer of dentin between the nerve and the remaining decay, encouraging the pulp to heal naturally.
If the pulp has been slightly exposed or infected, a Direct Pulp Cap, Partial Pulpotomy, or Complete Pulpotomy may be performed. These procedures involve removing the affected portion of the nerve while preserving the healthy tissue. The area is then disinfected, and a biocompatible material is applied directly over the remaining pulp. These techniques are particularly effective for children with developing teeth, but they may also be suitable for adults with fully formed teeth, depending on the extent of nerve involvement and the tooth's overall condition.
Vital pulp therapy is an excellent option for maintaining tooth vitality, reducing the need for more invasive treatments, and supporting the natural development of healthy tooth structure. Our team will carefully assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment to promote long-term oral health.

Internal Bleaching
Internal bleaching is a specialized procedure used to lighten teeth that have darkened from within, typically as a result of trauma or previous root canal treatment. Unlike traditional whitening treatments that work on the outer surface of the tooth, internal bleaching targets discoloration from the inside, helping to restore a more natural and uniform appearance.
When a tooth becomes discolored after endodontic treatment, it is usually due to residual blood, nerve tissue, or root canal materials left within the internal tooth structure. Over time, these can cause the tooth to appear gray or dark yellow, standing out from the surrounding teeth. Internal bleaching offers a conservative and effective solution to address this kind of discoloration without the need for a crown or veneer.
To begin the procedure, a small opening is made in the back of the tooth to access the internal chamber. Any old filling material is removed, and a special bleaching agent is carefully placed inside the tooth. The opening is then temporarily sealed, allowing the whitening agent to work over several days. Depending on the degree of discoloration, the process may be repeated one or more times until the desired shade is achieved. Once the bleaching is complete, the chamber is permanently sealed with a tooth-colored filling.
Internal bleaching is a safe and minimally invasive cosmetic option that helps restore confidence in your smile. Our team will evaluate your tooth’s condition and determine if internal bleaching is the right solution for your specific needs.
