Endodontic Treatment
What Is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal therapy, is a specialized procedure used to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth. By eliminating infection and sealing the tooth, this treatment helps prevent further decay and often allows patients to preserve their natural tooth rather than requiring extraction.
Protecting Your Natural Smile and Overall Oral Health
At Hometown Endodontics, our primary goal is to save natural teeth whenever possible. Preserving your own tooth supports proper bite function, jawbone health, and long-term oral health. In many cases, root canal therapy is a more conservative and cost-effective option than tooth extraction and replacement.
Unlike implants, saving a natural tooth with root canal therapy helps reduce the risk of bone loss that can occur after extraction. When appropriate, we always recommend treatment options that protect both your smile and your overall dental health.
