Endodontics
Halls Advanced Dentistry in South Tulsa offers services such as endodontics which is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with the complex structures found inside the teeth. Endodontists receive additional dental training after completing dental school to enable them to perform both complex and simple procedures, including root canal therapy.
Root Canal Retreatment
Halls Advanced Dentistry in South Tulsa offers services such as root canal treatments and re-treatments which are a better alternative than extraction for most individuals. If a tooth has good bone support, a solid surface and healthy gums beneath it, it stands a good chance of being saved. Opting for root canal re-treatment can be far less expensive than the alternatives. Dental implants, extensive bridgework and the creation of aesthetically pleasing prosthetic teeth cost far more than working with the natural tooth. They also require maintenance and feel less natural than a “real” tooth.
Root Canal Therapy
Halls Advanced Dentistry in South Tulsa offers services such as root canal therapy which is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function.
Apicoectomy
Halls Advanced Dentistry in South Tulsa offers services such as a root canal treatment which refers to the cleaning of the canals and the removal of infected and inflamed tissue within the root. When the inflammation or infection persists after the root canal treatment, an apicoectomy may be required. When left untreated, infected roots can damage other teeth, spread infection, and cause regression of the jawbone.
