This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges. For more information on root canal treatment at our Naples FL endodontic office, please visit our website root canal page.What is a root canal?Endodontic (root canal) surgery can be used to locate fractures or hidden canals that do not appear on x-rays but still manifest pain in the tooth. Damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone may also be treated with this procedure. The most common surgery used to save damaged teeth is an apicoectomy or root-end resection. The actual root canal procedure involves removing infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth and cleaning, filling and sealing the remaining space. This returns the tooth to a healthy condition.

What happens after treatment?When your root canal treatment has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact their office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of completion at our office. Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond.
