Non-surgical endodontic treatment, commonly referred to as a root canal, is designed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged. At Nevins Dental Center, our team employs advanced techniques and state-of-the-art tools to perform this procedure efficiently and comfortably. During a root canal, the infected pulp is removed, the inner chamber is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent future infection. With non-surgical endodontics, you can preserve your natural tooth structure and avoid the need for more extensive restorative work. Our goal is to provide pain relief and long-term stability, all while keeping your comfort a top priority.

For cases where non-surgical treatment may not be sufficient, surgical endodontics, such as an apicoectomy, can be the solution. This procedure targets the root’s tip and surrounding tissues to eliminate persistent infections or structural issues that cannot be addressed through traditional root canal therapy. At Nevins Dental Center, we perform surgical endodontic procedures with meticulous attention to detail using advanced imaging and surgical equipment. Dr. Cooper’s experience and expertise in these delicate surgeries ensure that your treatment is precise and effective, preserving the health and integrity of your tooth.

While root canal therapy is typically highly successful, there are occasions where previous treatments may fail due to new infections or unresolved complications. When this happens, retreatment may be necessary to save the affected tooth. During this procedure, Dr. Cooper carefully removes the existing filling material, thoroughly re-cleans the tooth, and addresses any new or missed canals before resealing the tooth. At Nevins Dental Center, our comprehensive diagnostic approach and advanced technology allow us to identify and resolve the underlying issues, giving your tooth the best chance of successful recovery.
