Apex Endodontics
Endodontists are dental specialists who save teeth from extraction by performing root canal therapy. Deep within the tooth lies an intricate network of nerve fibers and small blood vessels. Progressive tooth decay, cracks, or trauma can cause this tissue to become inflamed or infected. This condition is usually painful, and it can quickly threaten the tooth. Root canal (endodontic) therapy is the alternative to removing the tooth. With tooth removal, chewing can often be difficult, and it can cause unwanted changes to your smile.
Dr. Kim accomplishes root canal therapy in one or two visits and will administer local anesthetics so that you will remain relaxed throughout the procedure. Once you are comfortable, Dr. Kim will clean, shape, and seal the root canal space.
When your treatment is complete, we will forward a report to your dentist’s office where you will return for the placement of a permanent filling or crown. This teamwork between our Dr. Kim and your dentist will ultimately result in bringing your tooth back to its normal appearance and function.
