Saving Teeth and Enhancing Smiles with Exceptional Care
Find Relief from Tooth Pain with Specialized Endodontic Care
Do you experience lingering sensitivity after consuming something hot or cold? Or perhaps you feel sharp pain when biting or chewing? These symptoms can signal issues within the inner structures of your tooth; structures that endodontic treatments are designed to diagnose and protect.
Problems such as deep decay, cracks, trauma, or infection can affect the pulp and surrounding tissues, leading to significant discomfort. Without proper care, these conditions can progress, causing ongoing pain, abscesses, or even tooth loss. Endodontics focuses on treating these internal concerns to eliminate pain, preserve your natural tooth, and restore oral health.
The Benefits of Endodontic Therapy
Once your endodontic procedure is complete, you can live a comfortable and functional life without tooth pain. Dr. Cesar Chilmaza will provide the necessary instructions to ensure a fast and healthy recovery. In general, you can expect the following benefits from root canal treatment:
- Preserved natural tooth
- Resolved toothache
- Restored tooth function
- Improved smile aesthetics
Our Comfortable Endodontic Treatment Options
Root canal therapy in Tampa, FL, involves removing a portion of the tooth crown to access the pulp chamber and clear out all the infection, bacteria, and damaged pulp and tissues. The next step is to disinfect and clean the canals before filling them with a hardening material called gutta-percha.
The tooth will then be sealed to keep bacteria from entering the chamber and root canal, and covered with a dental crown to ensure it remains strong and functional after treatment.
Dr. Chilmaza will recommend apicoectomy surgery is recommended when a tooth with a previous root canal still has a residual infection at the tooth root. This procedure involves removing the tip of a tooth’s root to prevent further damage or the need for extraction.
During treatment, Dr. Chilmaza gains access to the tooth root, removes the root tip, and cleans and seals the root canal to block further infection.
When a root canal is unsuccessful or other complications arise, endodontic retreatment offers a second chance to save a natural tooth.
During the procedure, the dental crown and filling material are removed, and the inside of the tooth is evaluated and cleaned. A new filling is added to seal the tooth, and the new or existing dental crown is reattached.
