Blattner Endodontic Care

Blattner Endodontic Care is a distinguished endodontic practice located at 1345 N Mt Auburn Rd, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701. The clinic is led by Dr. Trevor Blattner, DDS, an endodontic specialist. Their mission is to deliver the highest quality endodontic treatment in a compassionate and comfortable environment, striving for clinical excellence and exceeding patient expectations. Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and injuries of the dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and the tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. Endodontists, like Dr. Blattner, undergo two or more years of advanced training beyond dental school to become experts in these complex procedures. Blattner Endodontic Care offers a comprehensive range of services, including: Root Canal Therapy: A common procedure to treat infected or damaged pulp, saving the natural tooth and preventing the need for extraction, implants, or bridges. Endodontic Retreatment: Addressing cases where a previous root canal did not heal properly or the tooth becomes reinfected, removing the source of infection and re-treating the tooth. Endodontic Microsurgery (e.g., Apicoectomy): Surgical procedures, often used to locate fractures or hidden canals that don't appear on X-rays, or to treat damaged root surfaces and surrounding bone. The most common is an apicoectomy, which involves removing the tip of the tooth's root. Cracked Teeth Treatment: Diagnosing and treating various types of cracked teeth, which can cause symptoms like pain when chewing or sensitivity to temperature. Traumatic Dental Injuries: Managing and treating teeth that have suffered trauma. The clinic prides itself on its patient-centered approach, focusing on comfort and providing personalized care. They utilize advanced technology, including dental operating microscopes for superior visualization, digital imaging to reduce radiation exposure, and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for highly detailed 3D imaging, which enhances diagnostic capabilities and treatment planning. This commitment to technology ensures precise and effective treatment while prioritizing patient safety. Blattner Endodontic Care serves patients in Southeast Missouri and Southern Illinois, often receiving referrals from general dentists concerned about their patients receiving specialized endodontic care.
