ENDODONTICS

Root Canal Therapy (RCT)
       Root canal treatment is also known as endodontics. Root canal treatment is required when tooth decay has broken through the outer enamel and infected the heart of the tooth..The goal of  Oral Confidence is to try and save your natural teeth and avoid extractions. The reason for this is because removing natural teeth leaves gaps which the cause the other teeth to compensate. It can therefore affect your bite and then cause a host of other affiliated problems.

But what happens when a tooth has become infected right in the center? Usually there is no avoiding an extraction, as the pulp is infected. Essentially, this means that the nerves at the heart of the tooth are slowing dying. Not to mention the fact that you will probably also be experiencing quite a bit of pain.

Under these circumstances, most patients want a quick fix – an extraction. While extraction may remove the offending tooth, it is not the best option in the long term. We prefer to try root canal surgery first. This way, the infection can be cleared and the tooth can be kept in place.

Dowel Post & Core (Metal or Ceramic) 
Dowel is a post, usually made of metal that is fitted into a prepared root canal of a tooth that has had endodontic therapy. A core is the coronal aspect of the post foundation.

Core of the post-and-core restoration replaces carious, fractured or missing tooth structure. It also retains the final crown.
