Glass City Endodontics

Glass City Endodontics is a dental practice located at 3900 Sunforest Ct #232, Toledo, OH 43623. As their name suggests, they specialize in endodontics, which is the branch of dentistry concerned with the study and treatment of the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. Their primary goal is to save natural teeth whenever possible, offering alternatives to extraction. The clinic provides a range of specialized services, including: Root Canal Therapy: This is a very common procedure aiming to treat and preserve a tooth with infected or inflamed pulp. Glass City Endodontics emphasizes that with modern instruments and techniques, root canal procedures can be as comfortable as routine dental fillings. While some cases can be completed in one visit, others may require multiple appointments. They utilize local anesthesia, and additional sedation options like nitrous oxide, IV, and oral sedation are available to help anxious patients. Cracked Teeth Treatment: They address various types of cracked teeth, implementing appropriate treatments to save the affected tooth. Apicoectomy (Apical Microsurgery): This surgical procedure is recommended when non-surgical root canal treatments are insufficient. It involves removing inflamed or infected tissue around the root tip and a few millimeters of the root, followed by a biocompatible filling to prevent reinfection. Traumatic Injuries: Glass City Endodontics also provides treatment for dental trauma, such as fractured or displaced teeth, or teeth that have been knocked out (avulsed). This may involve splinting, medication, or root canal therapy. They also have special considerations for treating injuries in children, including procedures like apexogenesis and apexification for immature teeth. Glass City Endodontics emphasizes a patient-centered approach, working in close partnership with referring dentists to ensure seamless and comprehensive care. They strive to provide a comfortable and calming environment, with a friendly staff dedicated to assisting patients. They handle patient registration, offer FAQs about endodontic treatment, and are available to respond to any complications that may arise. They also send records of completed treatment to the patient's restorative dentist for follow-up care.
