If you find your tooth had developed tooth decay, it means your tooth tissue has a hole in it. This hole exists because your dental tissue is decaying, the hole growing on a daily basis. We can address this oral disease by stopping the progression of the decay, cleaning out the opening, and replacing lost tissue with a beautiful dental filling.
For significant damage to a tooth (which may occur due to severe tooth decay, an accidental break, or other forms of injury), we may suggest a restorative dentistry treatment called a crown. This is simply a hollow tooth made out synthetic material – it will cover your damaged tooth.
To clear an infection, we must clear away the dental pulp from within your tooth with restorative dentistry. Unfortunately, it cannot recover once damaged or infected. To achieve this feat (and keep your tooth where it resides), we perform root canal therapy.
In some instances, the best way to restore your overall oral health is to remove the tooth in question. As a result, we can then move ahead by replacing the tooth, so your smile is both healthy and complete.
