Extractions

Some of the most common reasons our office may recommend having a tooth extracted include the following ones:

• A "baby" or deciduous tooth that is over retained (reluctant to fall out), severely decayed, or damaged
• A permanent tooth that has extensive decay and is deemed nonrestorable
• A permanent tooth that has been severely fractured or cracked and can not be restored
• Advanced gum disease that has significantly compromised the tooth's supporting tissues
• Poorly positioned, impacted, or decayed wisdom teeth
• Overcrowded Teeth

Root Canal Therapy

A root canal procedure is typically the best way to relieve toothache pain, save a damaged tooth, and preserve your natural smile.

When a tooth needs a root canal, it is because the dental pulp has become irreversibly damaged or has died. A fully developed tooth does not require the dental pulp to remain functional and can be preserved. 

With the modern dental instruments and advanced techniques available today, having a non-surgical root canal procedure is often as comfortable as getting a routine dental filling.

While some root canals can be completed in one visit, others may involve 2 or 3 appointments. How long it takes depends on factors such as the number of canals in a tooth, its anatomy, and whether an active infection is present.
