Endodontics | Root Canals
Endodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on the treatment of the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. At Over the Mountain Dentistry, we are committed to preserving your natural teeth and ensuring your oral health through expert endodontic care.
Root canal therapy is often necessary when the dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or damaged. This procedure involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning the root canal system, and sealing it to prevent further infection. Dr. Abrahante, with his extensive training in endodontics, performs not only standard root canal treatments but also complex re-treatments and apicoectomies, ensuring comprehensive care for even the most challenging cases.
For teeth treated with root canal therapy, especially the posterior teeth, it is sometimes necessary to cover the cusps with an onlay or crown. This additional step helps protect the tooth from future fractures, preserving its functionality and appearance.
Understanding the urgency of dental pain, Over the Mountain Dentistry also accepts same-day appointments for emergencies, including severe toothaches, to ensure prompt and effective relief.
If you are in need of any of the general and preventative dental services we offer, you can contact us or call us at 205.968.1296 to schedule an appointment.
