Treating damaged or infected roots to eliminate pain.
When a nerve root that’s located inside your tooth becomes damaged,
infected or abscessed, it must be removed. A damaged or infected root
can cause you debilitating throbbing tooth pain. Removing the root
eliminates the tooth pain immediately.
First, we gently remove the infected or inflamed root and then
carefully shape and sterilize the inside of the canal. We use an X-rays
or an apex locator to find the precise location of the root tip. Then we
fill and seal the canal with a biocompatible material known as
gutta-percha.
Eliminating your pain, improving your comfort.
For your comfort, we also use quiet handpieces that produce minimum
vibration. We also do everything possible to preserve your tooth’s
structure and provide more precise treatment to avoid future problems.
Dentures are a replacement for missing teeth that can be removed and
put back into your mouth as you please. Depending on each individual
patient case, they may receive full or partial dentures. Full dentures
are used when all of the natural teeth have been removed from the mouth
and replaced with a full set of dentures. There are two types of full
dentures.
Conventional Full Dentures – This is when all the
teeth are removed and the tissue is given time to heal before the
dentures are placed. It could take a few months for the gum tissue to
heal completely, and during this time you will be without teeth.
Immediate Full Dentures – Prior to having your teeth
removed, we take measurements and have dentures fitted for your mouth.
After removing the teeth, the dentures are immediately placed in your
mouth. The benefit is that you do not have to spend any time without
teeth. You will, however, need to have a follow-up visit to refit your
dentures because the jawbone will slightly change shape as your mouth
heals. The dentures will need to be tightened after the jawbone has
healed.
Partial Dentures – When several teeth have been
lost, one of the least costly solutions to fill the gap is a partial
denture. This specially made removable appliance is designed to replace
your missing teeth and restore your bite function throughout the day.
Like conventional full dentures, partial dentures must be taken out
before bedtime daily.
