Endodontic Services

Also known as endodontic therapy, root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage to the inside of a tooth, specifically the pulp. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.

Root canal retreatment is a dental procedure performed when a tooth that has previously undergone root canal therapy fails to heal properly or develops new issues, such as infection or discomfort. It involves reopening the tooth, removing the previous filling material, cleaning and disinfecting the canals again, and resealing the tooth.

Endodontic surgery, often called an apicoectomy, is a gentle, microsurgical procedure used to save teeth that haven’t healed properly after a root canal. If an infection or problem remains near the tip of the tooth root, this treatment can help. By carefully removing the affected area and sealing the root, we promote healing and help you keep your natural tooth.

Dental emergencies happen fast— swelling, toothaches, traumatic injuries, or fractured teeth can strike without warning. Don’t wait in pain—call us for prompt and expert care.

At Riverview Endodontics, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest standard of care, which includes utilizing state-of-the-art technology to enhance diagnostics and treatment planning. One such technology we utilize is 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), a cutting-edge imaging tool that offers detailed three-dimensional views of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. 3D CBCT imaging provides our experienced team with valuable information that is not available through traditional dental X-rays.

This advanced imaging technology allows us to:

• Precisely plan and perform complex endodontic procedures, such as root canal therapy, retreatment, and surgical interventions.
• Evaluate the size, shape, and location of dental abnormalities, including impacted teeth, fractures, infections, and pathologies.
• Visualize anatomical structures with exceptional clarity and detail, enabling more accurate diagnosis of dental conditions and treatment planning.
• Minimize radiation exposure to patients by capturing high-quality images with reduced scanning times compared to conventional CT scans.

The use of 3D CBCT imaging enhances our ability to provide personalized and effective treatment while prioritizing patient safety and comfort. By incorporating this advanced technology into our practice, we can ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Cracked teeth can happen unexpectedly and cause pain or sensitivity. Riverview Endodontics provides expert diagnosis and treatment using advanced technology to relieve discomfort and save your tooth.

Regenerative endodontics is an innovative treatment approach that focuses on promoting the natural healing and growth of immature teeth with damaged or infected pulp tissue. This specialized technique is particularly beneficial for pediatric patients whose teeth are still developing and maturing.

Internal bleaching is a specialized dental procedure aimed at restoring the natural color of a discolored tooth. It is a sought-after treatment for teeth that have undergone root canal therapy and that become discolored due to various factors like trauma, resorption, or medication.

Root resorption is the breakdown and loss of the root structure of a tooth. This occurs when living body cells attack part of the tooth. Severe root resorption can be difficult to treat, but cases can often be further examined with cone beam technology to determine the best course of treatment.

At Riverview Endodontics, we understand that you may be anxious about your upcoming endodontic procedure. With this in mind, we strive to keep both the physical and mental well-being of our patients at the forefront of our treatments. We offer oral conscious sedation options as well as a comfort menu.
