OUR PROCEDURES
ROOT CANAL PROCEDURES
Our Doctor will fully examine the tooth through x-rays. Once they have determined the course of action, a local anesthetic will be administered. Once the patient is numb and comfortable, they will isolate the tooth and begin the procedure.
ROOT CANAL RETREATMENT
Occasionally, a patient may experience some inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth. Our Doctor will preform root canal treatment on such cases. We specialize in these treatments and carefully disinfect and shape the root canals, and place a filling to seal the space.
DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES
Dr. Harrison will preform a complete diagnostic review in order to render proper treatment. This generally consists of a pulpal and a periapical diagnosis for each tooth.
APICOECTOMY
If you are experiencing inflamed tissue near the upper areas of your gums, you may require a procedure called an apicoectomy. This is a common dental procedure Dr. Harrison has performed countless times. It is our goal to save your tooth, while removing the infected root-end.
TOOTH RESORPTION
It is our goal to preserve as much of your tooth as possible in the event of tooth resorption. Dr. Harrison is experienced in treating this form of dental condition.
TRAUMA PROCEDURES
It is important to see an endodontist for the treatment of trauma to the surface or roots of your teeth. This type of condition can pose serious oral health problems that can lead to tooth loss. Cracks, chips and micro-fractures are all signs you need to see the Doctor at Hot Springs Endodontics.
