What Is an Endodontist’s Role in Saving Teeth?

The health of a tooth depends on the condition of its dental pulp within the root canal. When bacteria enter the pulp through a deep cavity, crack, or other damage, infection can occur, placing the tooth at risk. Trauma can also harm the dental pulp, compromising the overall health of the tooth.

At Perry Endodontics, our specialists focus on saving natural teeth by addressing these complex issues with precision and care. By treating or removing the damaged or infected pulp, we can restore the health of your tooth and help it remain functional and in place. Whether through non-surgical procedures like root canal therapy or surgical solutions such as apicoectomies, we are committed to providing advanced, effective care to preserve your natural teeth and support your oral health.

Technology Used to Save Teeth

We incorporate the following forms of advanced technology to provide tooth-saving treatments with improved outcomes for patients.

CBCT Scanner. Cone Beam Computed Tomography creates 3D images of the patient’s teeth and surrounding structures. This advanced imaging technology enhances diagnostics and treatment planning by providing exceptional clarity, enabling precise execution of complex procedures, and improving overall treatment outcomes.
Surgical Microscopes. Through the use of surgical microscopes we are able to examine and treat the intricate structures within a tooth with remarkable precision. Modern surgical microscopes deliver exceptional magnification and illumination, enabling endodontists to provide thorough treatment of the root canal system, minimizing complications and supporting long-term success.
Laser Therapy. Laser technology in endodontics enhances root canal disinfection and tissue removal by delivering concentrated energy to eliminate bacteria in hard-to-reach areas, improving procedural efficiency and reducing patient discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Saving Teeth

What is root canal therapy?

Root canal therapy is a highly effective procedure used to treat and prevent tooth infections. After the damaged or infected pulp is removed, the tooth is carefully cleaned, filled, and sealed. In many cases, patients return to their general dentist to restore the tooth, which may involve a crown or another type of restoration depending on the specific needs of the tooth. At Perry Endodontics, we focus on precision and care to support your long-term oral health.

Can all teeth be saved?

While we strive to save natural teeth whenever possible, there are cases where a tooth may have extensive decay or damage that makes it unsalvageable. At Perry Endodontics, we carefully evaluate each case to determine the best course of action. If the tooth can be saved, we will use our expertise and advanced techniques to preserve it and support your long-term oral health.

Does a root canal hurt?

Root canal procedures today are straightforward and designed to be as comfortable as possible, much like getting a routine dental filling. At Perry Endodontics, we use local anesthesia to ensure you don’t feel any pain, and our team goes the extra mile to make your experience positive and stress-free.

How long will a tooth last after a root canal?

With proper care and maintenance, a tooth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene and regular visits to your dentist are essential for preserving the health and function of your treated tooth.

Why does a tooth need endodontic retreatment?

Occasionally, a tooth may require retreatment if the initial root canal does not fully resolve the issue. This can happen if a portion of the root canal system was left untreated during the first procedure or if new damage or infection develops over time. At Perry Endodontics, we specialize in retreatment procedures to give your tooth the best chance for long-term success.
