Precise care. Personal attention.

Standard root canal treatment

Anterior teeth, bicuspids & molars

Microscope-assisted treatment removes inflamed or infected pulp from inside the tooth. The canals are cleaned, shaped, filled, and sealed to help preserve your natural tooth. Your dentist completes the final crown or restoration.

Endodontic retreatment

A second look at a previously treated tooth with persistent symptoms or a recurring infection. We remove the existing canal filling, assess for missed anatomy, and clean and seal the canals again when retreatment is appropriate.

Pulpal debridement

An initial emergency treatment that removes pulp tissue to help relieve pain when a full root canal cannot be completed at that visit. Follow-up treatment is needed to finish cleaning, filling, and restoring the tooth.

Treatment of root canal obstruction

Evaluation and management of blocked canals, including calcified areas or separated dental instruments. When feasible, an obstruction can be removed or bypassed to allow further cleaning and treatment of the canal.

Pulpotomy

Removal of affected pulp from the crown of a tooth while preserving living tissue in the roots. Depending on the diagnosis, this may be an option for primary teeth or selected permanent teeth.

Pulpectomy

Removal of pulp tissue from both the crown and root canals. In an appropriate primary tooth, the canals are then cleaned and filled with a material suited to the tooth’s expected development and natural loss.

Apexification

For an immature permanent tooth whose pulp is no longer living, treatment creates or encourages a barrier at an open root end. This barrier allows the canal to be filled and sealed.

Apexogenesis

Vital pulp care that aims to preserve healthy living tissue in an immature permanent tooth so its root can continue developing. Follow-up visits monitor root growth and the tooth’s response to treatment.

Apicoectomy

Root-end resection

Removal of the tip of a tooth’s root and nearby inflamed or infected tissue through a small opening in the gum. This may be considered when disease persists around a root end after root canal treatment.

Retrograde filling

Root-end filling

A small filling placed at the end of a root, usually during an apicoectomy, to seal the canal from the root tip and help limit bacterial leakage.

Root amputation

Removal of one diseased or damaged root from a tooth with multiple roots while retaining the crown and remaining roots. Suitability depends on their health, support, and ability to be restored.

Hemisection / bicuspidization

Separation of a selected molar into sections. Hemisection may include removing a diseased root and its portion of the crown; bicuspidization retains and restores both sections as separate units. Restorative care is coordinated with your dentist.

Intentional replantation

For carefully selected cases, a tooth is intentionally removed, its root is treated outside the mouth, and it is returned to its socket. We assess whether this approach is suitable and plan follow-up care.

Internal root repair

Perforation defects

Repair of an opening between the inside of a tooth and the surrounding tissues, which may result from resorption or a previous procedure. A biocompatible material seals the defect when the tooth is suitable for repair.

Traumatic dental injury management

Prompt evaluation of chipped, displaced, loosened, or knocked-out teeth. Care may include repositioning, splinting, replanting an avulsed permanent tooth, and monitoring healing. Treatment depends on the injury and stage of tooth development.
