Procedures
When it comes to saving and restoring health to your natural teeth, there are many treatments available. Dr. Scherer offers a variety of endodontic procedures and will determine the right treatment for you based on your individual needs.
Root canal treatment involves removing infected dental pulp to save the natural tooth and prevent the need for tooth extraction.
Retreatment involves reopening the tooth, removing previous fillings, cleaning the root canals, and inserting new fillings or crowns.
If a tooth cannot be saved with root canal therapy, endodontic surgery is performed to remove infection or calcium deposits and treat fractures.
This type of dental restoration builds up the structure of a tooth’s root and crown so that it can support a crown or bridge.
Dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging technology that allows dental professionals to view detailed, three dimensional images of a patient’s head, neck, mouth, and face.
