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
Root canal treatment involves removing infected dental pulp to save the natural tooth and prevent the need for tooth extraction.
Endodontic Retreatment
Retreatment involves reopening the tooth, removing previous fillings, cleaning the root canals, and inserting new fillings or crowns.
Endodontic Surgery
If a tooth cannot be saved with root canal therapy, endodontic surgery is performed to remove infection or calcium deposits and treat fractures.
Post and Core Buildup
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.
Additional Procedures
Endodontic Emergency
Cracked or infected teeth and inflamed bone tissue may cause severe pain, which requires emergency care to relieve pain and save the tooth.
