Services at Burien Endodontics
We proudly provide unmatched endodontic services that effectively and efficiently diagnose and treat acute tooth pain and infections. These services include the following:
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy removes infected tissue from the center of the tooth, cleans and disinfects it, and reseals it with filling material to prevent future complications. This helps preserve the natural tooth and prevent the infection from spreading.
Endodontic Surgery
For more serious cases, we perform endodontic surgeries, like apicoectomies. This procedure removes the end of the tooth root, which helps eliminate deeper infections and preserve the natural tooth. Like a root canal, we seal the tooth to prevent future reinfection.
Cracked Tooth Treatment
When a tooth cracks, the nerves, blood vessels, and tissue in the center can be exposed to bacteria and become infected. Whether you cracked a tooth from a fall, accident, or while eating, we can carefully assess the fracture and tooth restorability to develop a treatment plan based on your unique needs.
Endodontic Retreatment
While endodontic treatment failure only occurs occasionally, if a patient’s tooth doesn’t respond to a root canal, we provide retreatment to restore it. This often involves removing previous filling materials, removing damaged tissue, and refilling the tooth.
Traumatic Dental Injuries
Car accidents, falls, and other incidents can cause a tooth to fracture, move out of place, or get knocked out entirely. We can help reposition and stabilize the tooth, following up frequently to ensure treatment success.
