Any time you require restorative dental work, our practice is prepared to help. The type of care a patient receives will depend on what state their tooth is in. When you keep up with regular checkups and cleanings, you both reduce your risk for decay and ensure that problems can be caught and treated in time to make a filling effective. For a more advanced cavity, more involved care can become necessary. One worry is that your tooth will become infected, something that requires treatment with a root canal to resolve. This service can take care of you by removing the unhealthy tissues and bacteria to stop the further spread of decay, and to prevent the issue from spreading beyond the tooth.
After we confirm that you need a root canal, we can proceed with care. The procedure will see your dentist carefully reveal the inner structure of your tooth so that the problem within can be treated. After unhealthy tissues are removed, the pulp can be sealed to keep it safe and secure. From this point, the focus can move from stopping the immediate threat to permanently restoring the tooth.
If you undergo root canal treatment, a dental crown can protect your tooth so that you do not have to worry about its appearance or ability to sustain bite pressure. A crown fully covers your tooth above the gum line. We can take care to ensure that your restoration looks natural and remains secure without affecting neighboring teeth.
Through root canal therapy, we can provide protection and lasting relief when you have a severe cavity. This procedure takes care of an infection that forms when bacteria make their way into the inner chamber of your tooth. After we provide this service, we can make sure your tooth stays protected by providing a durable custom dental crown.
