We are specialists in endodontics, an essential treatment to preserve teeth affected by infections or injuries that compromise the dental pulp. Our approach focuses on avoiding tooth extraction by cleaning the root canals and removing inflamed or infected pulp. This procedure not only relieves pain but also helps prevent more serious complications, such as infections that could spread to other areas of the mouth or the jawbone./span>
The dental pulp is the soft tissue located inside each tooth and contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When it is damaged by deep decay, a blow or trauma, or even inadequate previous dental treatments, root canal treatment becomes essential to remove the affected tissue and preserve the tooth. In addition, timely treatment can prevent the need for extractions or dental implants, helping maintain your natural and functional dentition.
¿When Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
The duration of root canal treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the number of affected root canals. A tooth with multiple roots may require more time than a tooth with a single root. The cost also depends on the complexity and the patient’s individual needs. To obtain an accurate diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment, we invite you to schedule an evaluation appointment with us.
Treatment Duration and Cost
Dental recontouring is a very simple procedure that involves reshaping the surface of the tooth to give it a more pleasant and symmetrical appearance, in harmony with the patient’s lips, facial features, and dental structure. After reshaping, polishing and dental shining are performed on the treated teeth to provide an aesthetic finish that best suits the patient’s needs.
In addition to improving dental aesthetics, recontouring can contribute to better oral health by eliminating small imperfections or irregularities in the teeth that may trap plaque and bacteria. This minimally invasive procedure does not require anesthesia and provides visible results in a single visit, allowing the patient to enjoy a more balanced and harmonious smile without long recovery times.
Root Canal Treatment Process
The endodontic procedure consists of accessing the inside of the tooth to clean and disinfect the root canals. After removing the affected pulp, the canals are sealed with a biocompatible material, and in some cases, a crown is placed to strengthen the tooth. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring it is completely painless for the patient.
