Thames Valley Endodontics offers a comprehensive range of endodontic procedures aimed at preserving natural teeth. These services typically include: Root Canal Treatment: This is the primary service, involving the removal of infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and then sealing them to prevent further infection. Endodontic Retreatment: For teeth that have undergone a root canal but the infection or pain persists, retreatment involves reopening the tooth, removing the previous filling material, and re-cleaning and sealing the canals. Endodontic Surgery (e.g., Apicoectomy): In cases where non-surgical root canal treatment isn't sufficient, surgical procedures are performed to address issues at the root tip or surrounding bone. Diagnosis and Treatment of Dental Pain: Specialists at Thames Valley Endodontics are adept at diagnosing complex causes of Tooth Pain. Treatment of Traumatic Dental Injuries: They provide specialized care for teeth that have been damaged due to trauma. Treatment of Cracked Teeth: Diagnosis and appropriate treatment for teeth with cracks that may affect the pulp. The clinic emphasizes the use of state-of-the-art technology, such as operating microscopes, digital imaging, and ultrasonic instrumentation, to ensure precise diagnosis and effective treatment. They prioritize patient comfort, aiming to make procedures as pain-free as possible through local anesthesia and a compassionate approach. Thames Valley Endodontics also works closely with referring general dentists to ensure seamless patient care and proper follow-up after endodontic treatment. Their dedication to quality care, patient satisfaction, and ongoing education has earned them a strong reputation in the London, Ontario community.
