Endodontic Retreatment

If a previously treated tooth develops new issues, we can perform endodontic retreatment to address the problem and save the tooth. This procedure involves removing the existing filling material, thoroughly cleaning the canals, and resealing the tooth. Retreatment can resolve persistent infections, new decay, or complications from the initial procedure, providing a second chance to preserve your natural tooth and restore its health and function.

Apicoectomy

An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the tip of the tooth root and the surrounding infected tissue to eliminate persistent infections that do not respond to conventional root canal therapy. This microsurgical technique allows us to directly access and treat the root tip, ensuring that the infection is completely eradicated. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and patients can expect a relatively quick recovery with minimal discomfort.

Pulp Capping

Pulp capping is a treatment designed to protect and preserve the tooth pulp after it has been exposed due to decay or injury. There are two types of pulp capping: direct and indirect. Direct pulp capping involves placing a protective dressing directly over the exposed pulp, while indirect pulp capping involves placing a protective layer over a thin layer of remaining dentin. Both techniques aim to promote the healing and regeneration of the pulp tissue, preventing the need for more extensive treatment.

Regenerative Endodontics

Regenerative endodontics is an innovative field that focuses on regenerating damaged pulp tissue and restoring the tooth's natural function. This procedure involves using stem cells and biologically active materials to stimulate the growth of new, healthy pulp tissue within the tooth. Regenerative endodontics is particularly beneficial for young patients with immature teeth, as it can help to develop a stronger and more resilient tooth structure. This cutting-edge treatment offers a promising alternative to traditional endodontic procedures, aiming to revitalize and preserve the natural tooth.

Root Canal Therapy Mission Viejo, CA

Root Canal Therapy

Saving Teeth with Precision and Care

Root canal therapy is a fundamental endodontic procedure designed to treat infected or damaged pulp tissue within a tooth. This treatment is essential for saving teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted due to severe infection or decay. During the procedure, we meticulously remove the infected pulp, thoroughly clean and disinfect the inner chambers, and then seal the tooth to prevent further infection and restore its structural integrity. Our approach to root canal therapy is centered on precision, care, and patient comfort. We utilize the latest advancements in dental technology, including digital imaging and advanced endodontic instruments, to ensure that every step of the process is performed with the highest level of accuracy. This allows us to effectively eliminate the infection while preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.

We understand that the prospect of a root canal can be daunting for many patients. That's why we employ gentle techniques and provide comprehensive pain management to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. Most patients report that undergoing a root canal is no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling, thanks to modern anesthetics and our skilled, compassionate approach.

Following root canal therapy, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your recovery. The treated tooth is typically restored with a crown to enhance its strength and function, ensuring that you can enjoy a healthy, pain-free smile for years to come. Our goal is to provide you with effective, long-lasting results that improve your oral health and quality of life.
