Procedures that deal with the tooth pulp
and the tissues surrounding the root of a tooth. If the
pulp has become diseased or injured, endodontic
treatment is required to save the tooth.
Root Canals
Pulp Capping or Vital Pulpotomy
-
This procedure differs from a root
canal in that the tooth is still vital (alive)
-
The top portion of the tooth is
removed, and a restoration is placed to seal the root
canal
Crowns
-
Crown procedures are done in two
parts
-
The first procedure is preparing the
tooth for the crown, getting impressions and sending
it of to the lab for the crown to be created
-
Once the crown is returned a second
procedure is preformed where the crown is placed and
cemented
-
Crowns are necessary to restore lost
tooth structure and provide protection against
further potential damage
