Endodontic treatment removes the damaged tissue, then cleans the area and fills the space (the canal) to preserve the tooth. Our office utilizes the state of art technology such as digital imaging, operating microscope, ultrasonic instrumentation and fiber optics. In some cases, non-​surgical treatment alone will not heal the tooth.
